No-Cost Extensions
When a PI needs additional time to complete a project at no additional cost to the sponsor, he/she must submit a completed no-cost extension request form. The form will include a detailed justification (e.g., late receipt of required materials or government authorization to proceed; task #1 took longer than originally anticipated due to…, etc.).
Once the agency response is received OR will forward a copy to the PI. If approved, university system records will be updated with new end dates.
OR will submit the official request to the funding agency with a copy to the PI.
Note: Some Federal Demonstration Projects (FDP) allow the institution to grant itself a one-time, one-year, no-cost extension. If this is an option OR will return to the PI the appropriate paperwork to document the extension. The PI’s signature and that of his immediate supervisor are required.
