| What is ECRT?
 In October 2007, Columbia University launched an on-line, web-based effort reporting system called ECRT (Effort Certification and Reporting Technology). This system facilitates both the monitoring of effort distributions during the year and the required annual certification of effort. ECRT can be used to monitor effort for the current fiscal year, which ends June 30. The annual certification period begins in October.
