Extension needed? Funding claimed so far
• Current underclaim: 0.96M
• Projected underclaim: 1.85M
• Options:
• Claim manpower at 125%
• Project extension by 1 month
• The Commission services will, in future, more closely examine each request for an extension to the
duration of the project to ensure that they are only given where there is a clear added value for the
project, or where external events (not reasonably foreseeable at the point of signing the grant) mean
that it is impossible to complete the work in the agreed timeframe.
