Extension Form

Please note, the University is pausing approval of the following, effective 2/28/2025, for all federal and federal flow-through awards:

  • Advance Spend for new awards, both anticipated and those under review/processing.
  • Mid-project spend ahead of the next year’s funding, using the Advance Spend module or Temporary Internal Extension.
  • End of project spend ahead of formal no-cost extension approval, using a Temporary Internal Extension.

All other Advance Spend, whether using the Advance Spend module, or a Temporary Internal Extension, may continue to be requested but may receive increased scrutiny.

Any requests already received up through 2/27/2025 and with GCA or OSP will be processed.

If you already have Advance Spend or a Temporary Internal Extension processed on a federal or federal flow-through award, you are asked to minimize advance spending, with a reminder that unrecoverable costs are borne by the PI/department.  See Guidance on Federal Administration Research Policy

Complete the Extension form and attach to a SAGE Modification Request (OSP/GCA).

Follow Extension instructions under a Schedule Change on the Award Changes webpage.

Make sure to include other relevant attachments, Grant ID#s, and any comments in the Modification request that will help OSP & GCA review and process your request.
