My grant only has 6 months left in the final year. Can I request a no-cost extension for 18 months so that I’m eligible for the 24-month administrative supplement?
No. Not all administrative supplements will be 24-month awards. While the availability of the ARRA funding is for 2 years, actual awards will be consistent with the time remaining in a particular project period; not to exceed 24 months. For grants already in their final year, grantees should be mindful of the available time remaining when preparing such requests.
