If an investigator believes a no-cost extension is necessary for a project, he or she must contact Sponsored Programs Administration no less than 90 days before the end date of the grant.
Documents received from the sponsor at the time of the award will normally detail the type and timing of required reports. The Principal Investigator must monitor these requirements to ensure reports are submitted in a timely fashion. The Principal Investigator is responsible for preparing all technical reports. The Principal Investigator must then coordinate with Sponsored Programs Administration for submission to the sponsor. Grants Accounting submits all financial reports.

Grants Accounting shall submit the final financial report, in coordination with the Principal Investigator. The Principal Investigator shall prepare the final project report per sponsor guidelines. The Principal Investigator must then coordinate with Sponsored Programs Administration for submission to the sponsor.
