Sometimes aspects of a grant project change and an adjustment to the project scope or objectives is required. This process also includes changes to model state plans through the Professional Development Program.
To submit a request to change the scope or objectives of a project, provide a brief letter or email with the following content:
- Justify and explain the circumstances that led to the need to change the scopes or objectives of your grant project;
- Provide descriptions for the new scopes or objectives;
- Describe any budget modifications that may be needed for the newly formed objectives;
- Include your SARE subaward account number or project number;
- Address the letter to the appropriate SSARE staff for your grant type;
- cc Tydaisha White on all change requests.
Once the request has been received and approved, processing begins at the SSARE office and then forwarded to the UGA Sponsored Projects unit in Athens. A formal modification to the award will be issued by Sponsored Projects at UGA. This modification will be emailed to the PI’s institution/organization/agency administrative contact on file. Once received by the institution/organization/agency it should be signed and returned to UGA for finalization.
The entire process can take up to 8 weeks to complete.
