Are no-cost extensions allowable under Chandra Grants?
A no-cost extension to your Chandra grant is allowable and can be initiated for one 12-month period if the analysis of the data cannot be completed within the authorized Award period. Rules for no-cost extensions are in the Terms and Conditions which are part of your Grant Award. A second extension of the Award period will be awarded only in exceptional circumstances and must be well justified. Such requests must be submitted in writing at least 30 days prior to the end-date of the no-cost extension. Late delivery of data or non-availability of analysis software are the usual reasons for granting second no-cost extensions.
