UW-Madison cost sharing guidelines

It is UW-Madison’s policy to minimize cost share, because of the programmatic, administrative and financial impacts that cost sharing has on the University.

• UW-Madison cost share policy information

Impacts of cost-sharing commitments include:

• Reducing the flexibility PIs have to conduct other research, when their effort is pledged to specific projects
• Increasing the requirements for documenting commitments and expenditures
• Decreasing the university’s recovery of F&A (indirect) costs
