Budgets - Cost Sharing

Find proposal budget information on cost sharing.

Cost sharing represents that portion of the total project costs (direct and/or indirect) of a sponsored agreement borne by the university, rather than by the sponsor.

There are three types of cost sharing at UC San Diego:

• UCSD Equipment cost sharing 
• UCSD Expenditure cost sharing
• Non-UCSD cost sharing

Cost sharing approvals begin at the departmental level. Confirmation by OCGA of any cost sharing is required before the submission of the proposal to the funding agency.

Please review the Cost Sharing Overview page for complete information, including the post-award requirements for use of UCSD’s Cost Sharing System for tracking and reporting.
