No Cost-Extension Requests:
To request an initial 12-month no-cost extension on a federally funded grant, send an email to the OARS staff member assigned to your department (either Anne Schauer or Tricia Callahan) detailing the "programmatic" reason(s) why this no-cost extension is necessary.

Your email will be reviewed and, if approved, forwarded to Grants and Contracts for processing with the funding agency.

If you are requesting a second no-cost extension, prior approval from the funding agency is required.  In this case, a much more comprehensive, detailed rationale for the additional extension must be provided along with the amount of time being requested.  This will be submitted to the program officer for his/her approval.

Please note that we are no longer using the OPAS form for this purpose.
