How to Fill out the Funding Sources and Condition Rules Tabs of the Cost Share Addendum 

As a Grants Manager, open the cost share addendum and navigate to the Funding Sources tab. 

  1. Fill in the requested information for your default funding source. Your default funding source is what your cost share grant will use as funding if the other funding sources that you set up run out of funds. Ideally, you will never hit your default funding source. This is a catch so that transactions are still funded, even if the funding sources run out of money. Please note that you must at minimum provide the following worktags: Fund, Resource, Cost Center, Function, Balancing Unit.   

  2. Fill in the requested information for your funding source. Your funding sources are what will pay for the cost share. Create as many as you need to fund your cost share. Please note that you must at minimum provide the following worktags: Fund, Resource, Cost Center, Function, Balancing Unit.   

  3. If your cost share funding requires specific employees to be paid from certain buckets of money or certain object class spend to be funded by certain buckets of money, skip to step. 

    An example of this would be if your cost share grant is funding the salaries of 3 faculty members and you want each of the 3 faculty members to be paid via different funding sources.  

  4. Fill out the waterfall by entering the funding sources you created in step 2 and specify what percent of the cost share grant expenses should be covered by each source. Transactions will be split according to the percentages to be funded according to the percentages entered. You are finished with your funding sources. When you have filled out the cost share addendum tab you can send your cost share addendum to Grant and Contract Accounting. 

  5. Do not fill out the waterfall and instead proceed to the tab titled Condition Rules. These condition rules are what will help you distinguish between different people’s salaries or object classes.

    Let’s take a simple example where you have one employee that you want to be paid via a different funding source than the rest of your cost share grant.

    For another example, let’s say that you wanted 2 employees to be paid from the same funding source, and another 2 employees to be paid via a different funding source.

    Note: You can do this with object classes as well.   

    If you wanted equipment on the cost share grant to be paid via a specific funding source that differs from the rest of the funding, you will out the following:

    Note: If you need to get even more specific than these examples specified, please email gcafco@uw.edu with your request and we can set up a meeting to discuss.   

  6. Fill out your funding waterfall on the Condition Rules tab. We will continue the example from above where you had 4 faculty members. You want to pay John and Jane Doe the same way. So you list the condition rule you created in step 5, and then the funding sources you set up in step 2. You wanted to also pay Eric Doe and Erica Doe from the same funding source. So you list their condition rule name and the funding source you created in step 2 that you want to use for them. You should also list an additional blank funding source condition rule name along with funding source(s) that you would want any spend that is not Jane Doe, John Doe, Eric Doe, or Erica Doe salary to hit.
