CALFED Science Fellows
No-Cost Extension
The effective dates are specified on the award allocation issued by California Sea Grant. The fellow or mentor should not assume that funds are automatically extended. Permission to extend funds remaining at the end of the project must be obtained from the Sea Grant Director at least 45 days prior to the project's termination date. Please send your request to sgbudget@seamail.ucsd.edu, address the email to Dr. Russell Moll, and include the following in your message:
1) The relevant grant number: U-04-SC-005;
2) The Sea Grant project number (i.e. R/SF-50);
3) Your campus account and fund numbers and/or purchase order number;
4) The new requested end date;
5) A justification for the need for additional time:
- Describe how and why progress has been delayed;
- Explain which objectives have not yet been completed and a new timeline for their activities;
- Indicate the expected fund balance for each expense category, the reason for the balance, and an explanation of how the funds will be used (provide dollar amounts).
In order for a request to be reviewed, progress reports must be up-to-date. Please be aware that extensions do not extend the due date of the annual progress report. In addition, extensions to the final year of a project necessitates the submission of an annual progress report.
