How does the grantee request a no-cost extension of the grant period?
A request letter signed by an authorized representative of the organization, which includes the reason for the grant extension and the extension date, may be submitted to the Foundation any time during the grant period but before the end of the grant. If the grantee is a university, an authorized representative of the Office of Sponsored Research or Grants and Contracts must sign the request letter. Extension requests are not automatic and must be approved by the Foundation. Repeated requests for extension may be denied.
