Who can use this service

Anyone who can sign in to this portal with a CMC Microsoft 365 account can raise this request.

For a grant already held at CMC.

When to approach us

As soon as you know the grant needs to change, and well before the current end date.

A no-cost extension is easiest to arrange while the award is still running. A budget revision or reallocation is worth raising before the spend happens rather than afterwards.

What to have ready

The form asks for:

  • Modification Type
  • IRB Approval Number
  • Project Title

If Modification Type is No-Cost Extension, it also asks for:

  • Current End Date
  • Proposed End Date
  • Reason for Extension
  • Funder Submission Deadline

If Modification Type is Budget Revision / Reallocation, it also asks for:

  • Current Budget Summary
  • Proposed Revision
  • Reason for Revision
  • Deadline

You can attach supporting documents after submitting the form.

What happens after you submit

Your request is given a reference number and assigned to a named person in the grants team. You get an email confirming it, and they are alerted at the same time.

Everything after that happens in one place. Track it under My Requests in your portal, add comments or attachments at any point, and see who it is with and what state it is in. If the grants team needs something more from you they will set the request to waiting on your response, and you will be emailed.

You can reopen the conversation on a request after it is completed, and nothing is deleted.

We aim to acknowledge your request within one working day, and to complete it within 5 working days.
