No-cost extensions (NCE) are due no later than 1 month prior to the end date of a project and are not to exceed 6 months from the date of the project award (see award letter date). Investigators must clearly justify the need for a NCE in the context of their research plan and the work completed so far. To submit a request:

1. Log into PPMS.
2. Update your progress report in PPMS.
3. Complete the NCE form in PPMS. See Instructions on Submitting a No-Cost Extension (PDF).
4. Notify the Research Program Administrator (asktrec@pdx.edu) that your NCE has been submitted.

Once the request is approved, PSU PIs will be notified by their DRA. PIs from partner institutions will receive an email from PSU's financial office once an amended task order is issued to the institution.
