No Cost Extension
A no-cost extension (NCE) is a formal extension of the grant termination date without requesting additional funds. Each funding agency may have its own procedure for granting an NCE.
To request an NCE for a grant,contact the Preaward team. Preaward will review the funding agency’s grant requirements and provide guidance for requesting the NCE. NCE's can be processed no earlier than 90 days prior to the termination and no later than 10 days prior to the termination date.
For a federal award under the Federal Demonstration Partnership (FDP) or扩大的当局(EA), the first 12-month NCE can be approved by the University through the Preaward team.
To request an NCE in this situation, simply email Preaward with the following information:
- The project number.
- 赠款号。
预先的团队将通知联邦资助机构大学的地方批准。
对于所有其他奖项，包括不在FDP或EA下的其他联邦奖项，请给Preaward团队发送电子邮件，以便为遵循该机构的特定程序提供指导以获得NCE。
作为扩大机构的机构，我们被允许在内部批准一个无成本扩展。
The request for a no-cost extension should be for one of the following reasons, please let us know which reason applies to your circumstances:
- 在确定的批准项目范围或目标的完成之后，需要超出已建立的到期日期的额外时间；或者
- 当正在审查竞争性连续性申请时，需要PHS大支持的连续性；或者
- The extension is necessary to permit an orderly phase-out of a project that will not receive continued support
请确认您要求的额外时间（最多12个月）。
Additionally, please confirm the extension is not:
- Being exercised merely for the purpose of using unobligated balance
- Prohibited by the terms and conditions of the Federal Award, or
- Requesting additional Federal funds.
Further, please confirm the extension does not involve any change in the approved objectives or scope of the project.
