Effort reporting and salary certification are two ways the federal government uses to ascertain that effort commitments and salary charges made to sponsored projects have been fulfilled. OMB Circular A-21, Section J(8) elaborates on the requirements.

For information on the three effort types (Sponsored Activity Commitments, Departmental Administration, and All Other Harvard Activities) go to:
