GCA Workday Budget Template

With OSP’s shift to the new Contract Management System (CMS), there is a new budget template that leadership has asked academic departments to use starting immediately. That template is available at the link to the left.  Going forward, Grants & Contracts Accounting (GCA) will need this populated template in order to set up accounts and add funding in Workday.
 
It’s pretty simple and straightforward, so you could set it up as a tab in your existing templates to auto populate or manually key in the numbers. You may do whatever works best for you, as long as we have this form completed for awards and funding mods going forward.

If the sponsor approved budget has different expense categories, we will also need you to add those, as a reference point for approval of budget changes.  Both will be viewable in CIS as “Contractual Docs”.
 
If there are any questions, please reach out to your OSP Contracting Officer or GCA Financial Analyst.

Cost Share Policy & FormsCost share (Matching) funds are those funds contractually obligated by the Institute to meet the financial requirements specified in a sponsored award. These expenses represent the Institute’s contribution to an externally funded sponsored project. When a cost share obligation is identified in the sponsored agreement, it must be accounted for in the Institute’s accounting records and reported to the sponsor. Cost share expenses should generally be incurred at the same rate as the sponsor’s portion of award expenses.
Process for requesting a reduced F&A RateEvery sponsored project has an F&A rate that is documented in the eRouting system.  Any requests for unusual or reduced rates should be initiated in eRouting.  The requests are then filtered to the appropriate parties as detailed at this webpage.
