No-Cost Extension Request Process


The PI/DRA receives the 90-60-30-day end date notifications and reviews those awards to determine if a no-cost extension (NCE) request needs to be sent to the external sponsor.

The PI or DRA submits the NCE form. Effective October 1, 2018, this is a mandatory form when submitting a NCE.

OCG and CCO simultaneously receive the extension request, and a confirmation is sent to the form's requestor.

OCG processes the paperwork to submit the extension request to the sponsor. At the same time, CCO reviews the request for consideration and adjusts the project date in PeopleSoft.

CCO monitors the award until the sponsor-approved extension is received.

OCG will receive and process the sponsor-approved modification in InfoEd, then route to CCO

CCO updates the award date and related dates in PeopleSoft. This triggers a system email notification to the PI and fiscal manager of the changes.
