National Science Foundation (NSF)

The National Science Foundation normally awards grants to various types of organizations. The cost principles applicable to the awardee vary depending upon the type of organization. For instance, commercial firms are normally held to the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) for cost principles and financial management systems that comply with Section .21 of OMB Circular A-110 (2 CFR §215.21).

"Why do I need a Compliant Job Cost System for an NSF Award?"

With the submission of cost reports, and the final report, the government wants you to declare, under penalty of perjury, that the money spent was in accordance with the proposed budget. The only way to prove this is to have a job cost accounting system, and a properly maintained labor distribution & timekeeping system. You also need to ensure this system was properly maintained throughout the duration of the grant. ReliAscent can provide you with that system, and ensure you can focus on your grant; not worry about compliance or perjuring yourself!
