Effort Forecasting reports such as this one support a proactive reaction to shifts in the grant and labor pools and enable accurate grant spend down with minimal cost transfers.

Administrators use this for budgeting, allocation troubleshooting, and to highlight funding gaps. PIs can use it to integrate new grants or resolve staff turnover. Managers frequently bring this to support regular departmental planning sessions.
