For Voluntary Cost Sharing or Matching, evidence that cost sharing or matching is a basis for competitiveness is required. Please attach
the written statement from the grant application where voluntary cost sharing or matching is encouraged or university commitment
is encouraged or required; or, provide a compelling explanation, with evidence such as a case history, as to why voluntary cost sharing
or matching will increase the competitiveness of the proposal. An explanation that is not substantiated by evidence and/or which
relies solely on the perception of the PI is not acceptable.
