No-Cost Extensions
No-Cost Extensions can be granted by a sponsor to allow project directors more time to meet their objectives. A no-cost extension must be requested in advance of the end date of the award based on agency requirements.
The CALS Research Division provides more detailed information on No-Cost Extension guidelines, the request process and resources at their No-Cost Extensions page. A Microsoft Word template for a No-Cost Extension Request is available at the bottom of the No-Cost Extension link page.
