Overview
The Cost Sharing Contribution Report is used by campus departments to report costs incurred (i.e., faculty contributed effort, equipment, supplies, etc.) as part of a cost sharing commitment. UC Berkeley is responsible for the financial reporting and accounting of all costs attributed to a project (including cost sharing) and ensuring that the costs are allowable under Uniform Guidance.
Please note: Internet Explorer is required to use the Cost Sharing Contribution Report.

3. Contributions
All cost sharing contributions must be reported by the type of cost share. The costs listed should reflect the cost share contribution amount identified in the proposal budget submitted to the sponsoring agency. UC Berkeley's cost must be detailed at the chartstring level and must be supported by the general ledger.
UC Salaries and Benefits
- Enter the salaries and benefits by employee name in the Direct Amount box (use ledger accounts 50000-53999) and the indirect costs claimed as cost sharing in the Indirect Amount box
- If more than one employee's salary and benefits are being cost shared, click the "Click to add another Row" button for additional rows, or attach a listing of the employees and the amount of salaries and benefits to the form
