Request for No Cost Extension
While sponsors expect Principal Investigators (PI) to complete projects and deliverables by the stipulated end
date, occasionally additional time is needed. A no-cost extension gives the PI time to complete the scope and
objectives of the project without additional funds being provided by the sponsor. Although requests may not be
made for the sole purpose of spending remaining funds, you may expend remaining funds during the no-cost
extension period.
To request approval for a no-cost extension, please complete all fields and forward to Sponsored Funds
Administration (ITC building) at least 30 days prior to the termination date:

Notes Regarding No Cost Time Extensions
First Time Requests FDP Awards
Initial requests for no-cost time extensions to grants awarded under FDP or expanded authorities (i.e.
most NSF and NIH grants) must be submitted with sufficient time for Sponsored Funds Administration
to notify the awarding office of the extension. These types of no-cost extensions do not require
approval from the sponsor, but we must notify the sponsor within 20 days of current termination date.
Other No-cost Extension Requests
No-cost extensions that do not fall within the above parameters must be approved by the Sponsor.
SFA will use the information provided on this form to prepare a request to the sponsor.
If you have any questions, please contact Research Development Services (x7-6136) or
Sponsored Funds Administration (x7-6752).
