The policies outlined on this page provide guidance for grantees whose projects are deviating from their original grant applications for which they have won an award. If a grantee anticipates any significant changes to the project during the grant period, they should notify their program officer immediately.

Instances where a revision may be necessary:

  • Timeline: an extension of the project timeline past the current grant window. One 30-day extension may be granted per grant term;
  • Budget: a major reallocation in how the grant funds will be applied to the project budget. A revision must be requested and approved before expenses are occurred, otherwise they will be disallowed; and
  • Scope: any significant deviation of the project from what was proposed and approved by the panel, including a shift in the intent or scope of the project.

Grant Extension Policy

  • One 30-day extension of the project timeline past the grant window per grant term may be allowed;
  • The extension must be requested no later than 60 days before the end of the grant term (by May 1);

Budget Revision Policy

  • A 10 percent movement between approved line items is acceptable and does not constitute a budget revision;
  • The revision must be requested no later than 60 days before the end of the grant term (by May 1);
  • The revision must be approved before expenses are incurred;
  • Only one budget revision per grant term will be allowed.

Grant Plan Revision Policy

  • A significant deviation of the project from what was proposed and approved by the panel must be discussed with your Program Officer, who will either approve or disapprove the intended shift.
  • A grant plan revision must be requested no later than 60 days before the end of the grant term (by May 1).
