Effort gaps don't announce themselves.
Most post-award offices manage 50 to 500 active awards across spreadsheets, email threads, and effort reporting systems that don't talk to each other. By the time a gap is visible, certification has already locked the period — and your only options are remediation, bridge funding, or an audit finding.
Continuous monitoring. Instant clarity.
Committed vs. actual effort tracked per PI, per award, every day — not just at certification.
Automatic flags when effort reduction hits the 25% threshold triggering 2 CFR §200.308 sponsor notification.
Dollar exposure calculated instantly so you can act before it becomes a compliance finding.
Ask plain-language questions against your live portfolio. “Which PIs are at risk this quarter?” answered in seconds.
Built for federal compliance from the ground up.
EffortGuard is a pre-certification monitoring tool designed around the regulations your auditors actually cite — not a generic project tracker with a compliance label on it.
Pre-certification monitoring only. EffortGuard does not replace your institution's certified effort reporting system. (2 CFR §200.430(i))
Stop finding gaps at certification.
