NIH No-Cost Extension Letter - Robert Wood Johnson …：美国国立卫生研究院没有成本的延期信罗伯特Wood约翰逊… NIH No-Cost Extension Letter The Authorized Institutional Representative of the grantee institution may extend the final budget period of an NIH project one time for a period of up to 12 months beyond the original expiration date shown in the Notice of Grant Award if no additional funds are required to be obligated by the NIH awarding office, there will be no change in the project's originally approved scope, and any one of the following applies: , Additional time beyond the established expiration date is required to ensure adequate completion of the originally approved project. , Continuity of NIH grant support is required while a competing continuation application is under review. , The extension is necessary to permit an orderly phase-out of a project that will not receive continued support. The fact that funds remain at the expiration of the grant is not, in itself, sufficient justification for an extension without additional funds. The Authorized Institutional Representative, Dr. Cèline Gèlinas, approves the no-cost extension, NOT THE NIH. To request a no-cost extension, use the template on the following page and submit it to the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs no later than 15 days prior to the original end of the final project period. The letter should be on departmental stationery. The letter must request a no-cost extension from Dr. Cèline Gèlinas as the Authorized Institutional Representative. The letter is signed by the PI and delivered to the Research Office. If Dr. Gèlinas approves the extension, she will sign the letter and the investigator’s record in NIH Commons will be updated to reflect the new end date of the grant. The Research Office will write in the date that the investigator’s record was updated and the original letter will be returned to the investigator. This letter is for the investigator’s file only; nothing needs to be sent to the NIH. In requesting the extension of the final budget period through this process, the investigator agrees to update all required certifications, including human subjects and animal welfare, in accordance with applicable regulations and policies. Any additional project period extension beyond the one-time extension of up to 12 months requires NIH prior approval. Grantees may not extend project periods previously extended by the NIH awarding office.
