No-Cost Extension of Grant Award Expiration Date
Ninety days before the expiration date of a grant, the principal investigator (PI) receives an automated email from Sponsored Programs Accounting with the subject line “90 Day Grant Termination Notification.” Once the expiration date is reached, the PI no longer has access to grant funds. If more time is needed beyond the expiration date to complete the proposed work, and the funding award allows no-cost extensions, the PI can request an extension through the Office of Research Administration (ORA). |
