Continuation

A continuation is the receipt of anticipated funds and/or time for a previously awarded project that does not require competition with other applicants. Some sponsors require the submission of progress reports or other documents before releasing anticipated funds for future years. When the sponsor requires an AOR to sign or submit these documents, a continuation request in GMAS is needed. 

Continuation Requests

To initiate a continuation in GMAS, a continuation request must be entered.  Enter the required information before locking and routing.

Information Needed:

• Proposed period of performance
• Date due to sponsor, and submission instructions
• Updated budget, if applicable
• Copy of the progress report, if required by sponsor
• Other information as required by the sponsor, department, or University
