Q

What is a time and materials contract and is it appropriate for a university?

A

Very similar to cost reimbursable, it allows a sponsor to acquire supplies or services based on specific labor hours and actual material costs. No - because universities do not track hours with an hourly time-keeping system, it’s not possible to report and certify hours on an invoice. (We report effort, we do not certify hours)
