Hello Michael,

In reading through your reply it would appear to me that in the examples you provided you would be voluntarily committing cost share…If you indicate a percent of effort as you have in the examples wouldn’t that be quantifiable financial information (e.g., “faculty member X will commit 0.5 summer months per year to the project,” or “department Y will make available to the project a graduate student at 50% time”)?

Thank you,
Joyce
