5. Why do we do it? Data from the Effort Tracking Report are used in meeting the following: The federal government requires that direct personnel charges to contracts and grants be documented (OMB Circular A-21, Revised) The federal government requires a time and effort report to document the Facilities & Administrative (F&A) Rate negotiated between them and the University (OMB Circular A-21, Revised) Also, data collected is used in the F&A Rate Proposal which results in over $60M of revenue to the University annually

6. Why do we do it? • Data from the Effort Tracking Report and Instructor Workload Report are combined to produce the Instruction and Research (I&R) Data File • The I&R Data File is used to fulfill the following requirements: • Legislative requirement that each full time instructional faculty member produce at least 12 contact hours (F.S. 1012.945) • F.S. 1008.46 requires monitoring of performance in each of the major areas of instruction, research and public service

7. What Is the IRD? • Instructional and Research Data File • Combines data from the Instructor Workload File, PeopleSoft® HR and Cost Analysis • Satisfies state and federal requirements • Office of Management and Budget Circular A-21, Revised • F.S. 1012.945, the 12-Hour Law • Primary source for the Board of Governors’ expenditure analysis
