A No-Cost Extension is an extension of the period of performance beyond the expiration end date of the award. Extensions are sometimes needed to allow the Principal Investigator to successfully complete the project. There is no additional funding provided by the Sponsor.
A No-Cost Extension may be requested by the PI when all three of the following conditions are met:
• The end of the project period is approaching.
• There is a programmatic need to continue the research.
• There are sufficient funds remaining to cover the extended remaining effort.
