No Cost Extension
Several items of information are needed in order to apply for a no-cost extension. The following items should be included in the request:
- The additional length of time
- A justification for this additional time (funds remaining is not a justification)
- A summary of the progress of the project to date (usually as an attachment)
- An estimate of funds that are unobligated at the currently scheduled expiration date
- The projected timetable (or table of activities) to complete the portions of the project that will remain unfinished
at the scheduled completion date - And revised budget if changes need to be made for the period of the extension, or a statement that the budget
items will be expended as originally awarded. - A clear idea of how this extension affects the Time and Effort provided by the university.
Once this is provided to ORSP, the Director will write a letter to the granting agency, requesting the extension.
