20. Office of Universiiy Controller - CGA3/11/2015 Research Administration Town Hall Workshop #1 Briefing  A group of 25 participants from each control point across campus met for two full days on Feb. 11-12  The team was challenged by John Ellis to conceptualize a new process that could result in a “5 out of 5” customer satisfaction rating  The team completed in each core area Process simulation Value stream mapping Observations of waste Root cause analysis FECRS exercise (fix, eliminate, consolidate, rearrange, simplify) Individual brainstorming of improvement ideas

21. Office of Universiiy Controller - CGA3/11/2015 Research Administration Town Hall Workshop #1 Briefing  There was broad agreement about existing pain points  Preliminary common themes that prevailed included the following: Eliminate Excel trackers Consolidate/coordinate all systems Create single repository for all documents Automate reports/invoices Improve system navigation/views Limit invoice templates Eliminate redundant reviews  Workshop #2 on March 9-10 will focus on refining improvement ideas and creating the workshop deliverables

22. Office of Universiiy Controller - CGA3/11/2015 Research Administration Town Hall Workshop #2 Criteria  Enhances Customer Satisfaction (Principal Investigators, Research Administrators and other support): Streamlined Seamless Quality Timely Value-Added Service-focused

23. Office of Universiiy Controller - CGA3/11/2015 Research Administration Town Hall Workshop #2 Criteria  Maximizes Process Performance Results in reliable, standard product (95% within customer standards – quality & service level) Reduces TIMWOOD (transport, inventory, motion, waiting, overproduction, over-processing, defects) waste to result in reduced cycle time Benefits large number of end users (versus only the central offices) Affects large number of transactions or percentage of the sponsored research portfolio Has clear performance or service metrics that can be measured for improvement

24. Office of Universiiy Controller - CGA3/11/2015 Research Administration Town Hall Workshop #2 Criteria  Leverages Technology Leverage the functionality of the University’s technology investments (e.g., RAS) Technology aligned with the current and future business needs of the institution  Reasonable Return On Investment Derived Benefits (enhanced revenue streams, cost savings, risk reductions) outweighs Financial and Time Investment to make change (implementation costs, increased risks, speed of change)

25.

26. Office of Universiiy Controller - CGA3/11/2015 Research Administration Town Hall 26 End of Award Spending Monitoring New Procedures to Enhance Stewardship of Our Research

27. Office of Universiiy Controller - CGA3/11/2015 Research Administration Town Hall First Principle of Award Spending Allowability of Costs  The nature of the goods/services acquired reflect the action that a prudent person would have taken under the circumstances prevailing when the decision to incur the cost was made The cost is of a type generally necessary for the university's operations or the award's performance Whether the recipient complied with its established policies in incurring the cost Whether the individuals responsible for the expenditure acted with due prudence in carrying out their responsibilities to the Federal government, the public at large, and the University Reasonableness (Including Necessity)

28. Office of Universiiy Controller - CGA3/11/2015 Research Administration Town Hall First Principle of Award Spending Allowability of Costs  The goods/services involved are chargeable/assignable to the cost objective in accordance with the relative benefits received Incurred solely in order to advance work under the award Benefits both the award and other university work ‒ Proportions can be determined without undue effort SO costs should be allocated on the basis of the proportional benefit ‒ Proportions cannot be determined because of the interrelationship of the work involved SO costs may be allocated on any reasonable basis (except budget) as long as the costs charged are allowable, reasonable, documented and processed through the University's control system Allocability

29. Office of Universiiy Controller - CGA3/11/2015 Research Administration Town Hall Second Principle of Award Spending Accelerated and Delayed Expenditures  Sponsors monitor grantee expenditure rates under individual grants within each budget period and within the overall project period  The funding was provided for each budget period based on an assessment of the effort to be performed during that period Although sponsors allow certain flexibilities with respect to rebudgeting, there remains an expectation that the rate and types of expenditures to be consistent with the approved project and budget So, sponsors may question or restrict expenditures that appear inconsistent with these expectations  The Sponsor may review cash drawdowns expenditure patterns to determine whether they indicate: A deficiency in the grantee’s financial management system or internal controls A grantee's inability to complete the approved project within the approved budget and period of performance As illustrated in the NIH Grants Policy Statement Section 7.5NIH Grants Policy Statement Section 7.5

30. Office of Universiiy Controller - CGA3/11/2015 Research Administration Town Hall CGA Award Spending Monitoring  Reviewing Spend Rate comparing annual spend rates and the last 90 days of the current budget period for unusual patterns  Increased monitoring of expenditures incurred in the last 90 days that inherently cannot be utilized in that period of time e.g., equipment, supplies  During the monitoring process should questions arise surrounding patterns, CGA will ask the department for an explanation regarding the allowability of the expenses New Procedures to Be Implemented

31. Uniform Guidance Updates

32. Office of Universiiy Controller - CGA3/11/2015 Research Administration Town Hall NIH Issued Final Guidance on F&A Rate  On February 5, 2015, NIH released their updated guidance at NIH Interim Grant General Conditions NIH Interim Grant General Conditions  NIH choose to not to adopt the Uniform Guidance flexibility regarding the F&A rate provided to foreign subrecipients  Awards to domestic organizations with a foreign or international consortium participant may only include 8% of the modified total direct costs (MTDC), less equipment, for the foreign or international consortium participant Please submit your proposals accordingly Foreign Institution and International Organization Subcontractors

33. Office of Universiiy Controller - CGA3/11/2015 Research Administration Town Hall NIH Issued Final Guidance on F&A Rate  F&A for awards supporting institutional training grants and K awards Will continue to be reimbursed at a rate of 8% percent of MTDC, exclusive of tuition and fees, health insurance (when awarded as part of tuition and fees), expenditures for equipment, and consortiums in excess of $25,000 ‒ Exceptions to this policy for state, local and Indian tribes do not apply to state universities or hospitals  F&A for other subrecipients Should be budgeted at the subrecipient’s federally negotiated F&A rate or, if the subrecipient has never had a federally negotiated rate, then at the de minimus F&A rate of 10% MTDC except if the awarding federal program is subject to a reduced F&A rate

34. Office of Universiiy Controller - CGA3/11/2015 Research Administration Town Hall Administrative and Clerical Direct Charges  Generally, administrative and clerical salaries should still not be direct charged, but the rules governing “major project or activity” exceptions have been dropped and replaced by the following criteria, all of which must be met: Administrative or clerical services are integral* to a project or activity; Individuals involved can be specifically identified with the project or activity; Such costs are explicitly included in the budget or have the prior written approval of the Federal awarding agency; and The costs are not also recovered as indirect costs.  If all of these requirements are met, PIs/departments should add a new justification statement to proposals to facilitate the required agency approval  However, NIH is waiving their right to pre-approval Applicable CFR Section: 200.413(c)

35. Office of Universiiy Controller - CGA3/11/2015 Research Administration Town Hall Administrative and Clerical Direct Charges  *UCSF has determined that integral means: Personnel costs must be essential, vital, or fundamental to the performance of the award or activity as documented in the award proposal or scope amendment Generally administrative and clerical support as individual annual effort must not be less than 10% or less than $3,000 dollars budgeted per year Instances where individual is on 3 or more awards and has substantial cumulative annual effort charged to federal sources, budgets must be evaluated for appropriateness with university and federal guidelines

36. Office of Universiiy Controller - CGA3/11/2015 Research Administration Town Hall Participant Support Costs  Incl udes stipends or subsistence allowances, travel allowances, and registration fees paid to or on behalf of participants or trainees (but not employees) in connection with conferences or training projects (except NIH Kirschstein-NRSA programs) Contrasted to Research subject payments, also known as patient incentives and respondent fees, which are small payments made to individuals participating in a research project as a "Human Subject" (tracked in GL Account 57823)  Not routinely allowed on research projects but can be charged if the project includes an education or outreach component  These costs should be explicitly listed in the proposal budget or approved by the funding agency after the award has been made  These costs also will not realize indirect cost recovery under the Uniformed Guidance Applicable CFR Sections: 200.75, 200.456 36

37. Office of Universiiy Controller - CGA3/11/2015 Research Administration Town Hall Participant Support Costs  A new GL account 57824 has been created to track these costs  There is no corresponding commodity code in BearBuy, so look for the closest applicable commodity code and override the Account code For example: you are paying for the cab expense for a participant Find “travel” in the commodity, and then type 57824 in Account field For an illustration of this procedure, see the BearBuy Requester Quick ReferenceBearBuy Requester Quick Reference  In future editions, we will provide guidance on how to account for participant support costs in MyExpense In the interim, use a cost transfer journal to move the costs to proper Account in the General Ledger  The MTDC Base Code (A) was adjusted effective March 1  Remember, BearBuy should not be used to make direct payments to participants or research subjects Participant Support Costs are items in connection with conferences, or training projects 37

38. Office of Universiiy Controller - CGA3/11/2015 Research Administration Town Hall PI Sabbaticals vs. Disengagement  Sponsor prior approval is no longer required when PIs are away from campus for 3 months or longer, as long as their work on the project continues at no less than 75% of the level of effort committed We no longer need to seek prior approval for sabbaticals We do still need to seek prior approval if a PI will be “disengaged” for 3 months or more Applicable CFR Section: 200.308 38

39. Office of Universiiy Controller - CGA3/11/2015 Research Administration Town Hall Quick Reference Guide for Principal Investigators  The UCSF Costing Policy Group has prepared a quick reference guide to help Principal Investigators understand the impacts of the Uniform Guidance (2 CFR 200) Please share the Uniform Guidance Quick Reference Guide for Principal Investigators (available on the Office of Sponsored Research website) throughout your areaUniform Guidance Quick Reference Guide for Principal Investigators 39
