Procedure Steps [Top]
This activity is performed whenever it becomes necessary to request an "at risk" award for training grants, restricted yearly budget grants, FDP grants, or preliminary projects. This applies to new awards, supplements and renewals or continuations.
Responsibility
1. Complete top section, to fully identify the grant or contract in
question.
2. Complete section A for account changes only.
3. Complete Part B, Justification.
4. When sponsor approval is required for rebudgeting, attach a
letter addressed to the sponsor concisely indicating the
specifics and justification for the request. Endorsement by
the Director of Sponsored Programs is required prior to
submission to the sponsor.
5. In those instances where approval of rebudgeting has been
delegated by the sponsor to the University, i.e., National
Institute of Health, no letter to the sponsor is required.
However, justification for the rebudgeting action must be
provided in Part B. Where the request will result in a
redistribution of funds within the grant account, show both
the complete current budget distribution and how it is to be
redistributed.
6. When requesting non-budgetary changes in grant and contract
terms and conditions, (i.e., project period extensions,
reporting requirements, change of principal investigator,
etc.), attach a letter addressed to the sponsor justifying the
request.
7. Complete Section C in the case of At Risk Awards. At Risk Awards
deal with Training Grants, Restricted Yearly Budget Grants, and FDP
Grants and refer to new or preliminary accounts, supplements, and
renewals/continuations.
8. Obtain the endorsements (under Section D) attesting
to the propriety of the request in relation to the objectives
of the project as initially approved by the Sponsor.
