No-Cost Extensions
- No-cost extensions that can be approved internally should be routed to the designated
office for Sponsored Programs on each campus. The Sponsored Program office must notify
the Federal agency of extension requests at least 10 days before the expiration date
of the agreement. Please allow enough time for the request to be routed internally
and proper written notification to be given to the sponsor.
- LSUAM—route to OSP via GeauxGrants
- LSUAG—PIs must complete the AgCenter Modification Request Form and send it to the SPA contact.
- LSU can only grant one no-cost extension internally up to 12 months on agreements that waive the prior approval requirement. If a PI requests a six-month extension internally and additional time is subsequently required, the second request must be submitted by the PI to the sponsor through the designated office for Sponsored Programs on each campus.
- No-cost extensions may not be exercised merely for the purpose of using the unobligated balance.
- If a no-cost extension cannot be approved internally, the PI must route the request
through the designated office for Sponsored Programs on each campus before sending
the request to the sponsor.
