Project amendments
- To spend money on something not requested in the application (e.g. A post not mentioned in the application) it's important to check the award terms and conditions. Some funders won't allow this without asking first. The grants team may be able to advise. If the rules are unclear it may be necessary to contact the funder to confirm.
- If a PI decides to request more money from a funder for a project they should contact the grants team. The grants team will create a supplement costing and help the PI work out exactly how much money to request for the extra work.
- When a PI has requested a project extension and the funder has accepted, the confirmation email/letter should be sent to the grants team. The grants team will ensure the university systems are updated.
- If a project requires a contract amendment due to a change, the draft from the funder should be sent to the grants teams who will check any details are as expected and inform research services. RS will engage the other party to complete the contract amendment.
