Request a No-Cost Extension

When circumstances prevent a Principal Investigator (PI) from completing their proposed project objectives by the award end date and funds are still available, the PI should consider a no-cost extension (NCE).

The PI should contact the CTSI Administrative Office about the NCE request to ensure it meets the guidelines of the grant mechanism.

In order to request a no-cost extension for all CTSI internal grants, please use the following instructions to help you through the process. Notably, a no-cost extension MUST be requested in advance of the end date of the award.

If the NCE is for a collaborative award, the submission should contain the information below for all collaborative PIs / sites. 

The PI should send the following information to trnsldev@iu.edu.

• Grant mechanism
• Principal Investigator
• Title of project and original expiration date
• Summary of work accomplished to date
• Reasons for delay in project and extension request
• New end date requested
• Copies of latest, approved, applicable regulatory documents
• Account number, remaining balance, and how the remaining funds will be spent during the extension
