Question

Why is the university concerned with excessive cost share?

Answer

The university is required to provide the stated resources that are committed as Cost Sharing in a proposal, whether the commitment of resources is Mandatory Committed Cost Sharing or Voluntary Committed Cost Sharing. Excessive or unnecessary cost share limits the university’s capacity to commit resources when required for eligibility of submission, increases our administrative burden, and reduces the availability of resources for other purposes.
