December 2023

Congratulations on another perfect Certification Period! For the 19th time since the inception of our ecrt/ECC application at Pitt, we have achieved 100% certification compliance for the May-August 2023 period of performance! This period, a total of 8,040 effort statements were certified. Many thanks to YOU for all your efforts to ensure these certifications were completed by PIs in your area.

If you need to modify a SPAR line for an account that has been disabled, you will first need to contact your Sponsored Projects Accounting representative to request that the account be enabled.

The Person Inquiry, Account Inquiry and Account Inquiry No Subcode queries in the SPAR application return details of all compensation paid to the employee or from the specified account regardless of costing method (i.e. SPAR, NEAD/TEAM, or ICP). These queries are valuable and will consistently report compensation for all those in your area, whether salaried or hourly, and when the pay type changes.  Application Guides for each query are available on the FCR website.
