As a follow-up to the NIH announcement changing the process of requesting No-Cost Extensions (NCEs), NIH investigators/research administrators must request first-time NCEs through a formal NIH prior approval request, and the following three (3) documents are required:
- Budget with Justification,
- Reason for Unexpended Balance, and
- Scientific Justification
To expedite the process, send these completed documents in MyFunding as an Award Modification Request to the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) for submission to NIH.
OSP will continue to share any NIH updates on NCEs.
