Funding Extensions
Internal funding
For internal funding, the Research Office will grant extensions for up to six months with a request and justification provided. In the case of approved maternity leave, sick and sabbatical leave, extensions of more than six months will be considered.
Within the period COVID-19, the Research Office will consider extensions of six months for all internal research funding if researchers are unable to meet the funding deadline.
To request an extension, researchers should:
Obtain extension approval for a new deadline from the Associate Vice President Research and Graduate Studies.
Log in to the research portal, enter the file number of your grant in the search field provided on the top of the portal and find the corresponding project. (If you have a small number of projects in the system you may not need to conduct a search).
Create an “event” on the project that you need to extend.
Upload the approval letter from the funding agency and from the Associate Vice President Research and Graduate Studies. You will see the time frame and other details change, and then you will be asked some questions prior to submitting the event.
Finally, ensure you click “submit.”
