Guidelines
- No-cost extensions can be granted by a sponsor to allow project directors more time to meet their objectives.
- A no-cost extension must be requested before the end date of an award.
- Route WISPER record to SMPH at least one month before the end of an award (see request process guidance below).
- If a request is made less than 30 days before an award ends, a provisional request for extension should be filed. A provisional request will allow an account to stay open in case the extension is not formally granted before the end of an award.
No-cost extension request process
- No-cost extension requests should be routed on a WISPER record through SMPH and UW-Madison Research and Sponsored Programs for review/approval prior to submission to the sponsor.
- Requests should be prepared on departmental letterhead including the following information:
- Agency project number
- Principal investigator name
- Project title
- UW-Madison fund-account number
- Award period (begin and end dates)
- New requested end date
- PI contact information
- Signatures from the principal investigator, Dean’s Office and RSP
- Clear justification statement
- Summary of progress to date
- Estimate of funds remaining
- Timetable for completion
