My Project (Scope of Work and/or Budget) needs to change from what was originally approved. What steps do I take to get the modification approved?
Auburn University and the Alabama Cooperative Extension System (ACES) expect you to follow the Scope of your project and approved budget. If you need to deviate from the proposed scope of work or budget in any way, you must submit a completed Project Modification Request Form to ACES Administrative Services. ACES Administrative Services will forward the request to the Economic & Community Development Institute (ECDI); ECDI (Dr. Joe Sumners or Mike Easterwood) will notify you in writing whether or not your written modification request is approved. Please ensure you have this written ECDI approval prior to spending/obligating modification-associated funds. Expenditures/obligations incurred prior to obtaining written modification approval from ECDI may not be reimbursed/paid (i.e., ensure you obtain written modification approval before spending/obligating Grants funds which are not in the approved budget and/or Scope of Work).
