How do I get approval to make changes in my project once an award has been issued?
In general, the grantee may make minor changes in methodology, approach, or other aspects of the project objectives after an award has been issued. However, the grantee must obtain written prior approval from the Public Health Service (PHS) awarding office for changes in scope, direction, or other changes that constitute a significant change from the objectives or purposes of the approved project. Refer to the Post-award Administration section of the PHS Grants Policy Statement at http://dhhs.gov/asfr/ogapa/aboutog/grantsnet.htmlfor details.
Written requests, signed by both the Principal Investigator and an authorized institutional official, should be submitted to the attention of the grants management specialist named on the Notice of Grant Award.
