The information in this toolkit is designed to assist departmental staff and faculty who are entering, certifying, or authorizing data within the effort reporting system. Effort reporting at UF fulfills two separate requirements:
- Instructional and research reporting required by the state
- Sponsored project effort reporting required by the federal government
You may notice the navigation in myUFL is different than what is shown in these training resources. Rest assured, these changes are primarily look and feel differences. All policies and procedures discussed in these materials are accurate and up to date. Training materials will be updated to reflect the new look and menu of myUFL.
