No-cost extensions:
Some agencies are rethinking their practice of granting no-cost extensions for active awards. Please consider this as you plan your project activities. You are encouraged to fully utilize the time remaining in your existing period of performance to maximize results.
NIH is requiring all no-cost extension requests to be reviewed. No automatic extensions are being granted.
