This cost share is funded by a departmental account. NOTE: The cost share must be established and supplied to OPM by the department before an award cost share center is requested.''All grants require the Dean’s approval for Cost Share prior to submitting to OPM.

Procedure

There are three types of Cost Share as illustrated in the following diagram. Common examples include salary costs in excess of the NIH salary cap, as well as committed, but unfunded effort.

OPM uses the following steps to manage Cost Share for Grants.
