Amending a Grant

What is an Amendment?

An amendment, also called a modification, is a change to your awarded grant. Since your grant is essentially a contract, changes to it must be recorded.

When is an Amendment Necessary?

The terms and conditions of your grant and 2 CFR 200 define when and how an award may be amended.

The most common reasons an award is amended are:

• change in key personnel
• change in budget
• change in period of performance

How do I Request an Amendment?

Amendments may be requested by email to your grant manager. Any request for an amendment should include a list of requested changes as well as a very brief justification for the change.
