Non-Competing Continuation Process

How does a PD/PI or BO know when a non-competing continuation application is due?

  1. The PD/PI and BO are notified via email of the upcoming due date for the required application. The application package is available three (3) months days before the due date or six (6) months before the current budget period end date.
    1. A reminder email is sent out one (1) month before the due date.
    2. If the application has not been submitted by the due date, a late notice email is sent the next day.

How does a PD/PI or BO initiate a non-competing continuation application?
