Re-budget Requests

Budget Change

A rebudget involves the reallocation of funds from one spending category to another spending category to better align with a project’s needs or scope. Rebudgets may or may not require sponsor approval depending on the terms of the award and/or the amount being rebudgeted.

Requesting a rebudget or internal account reallocation

To request permission from a sponsor for a formal rebudget, or to request internal account reallocations that do not require sponsor approval, a GMAS Budget Change request must be submitted for review and processing by OSP. When initiating a request in GMAS, one (or more) of the following corresponding “Budget Types” must be selected:

• Account Reallocations
• Rebudget
• Equipment Rebudget

 Required Information:

• Revised budget and budget justification
• Revised SOW, if applicable
• Submission information if sponsor approval required
• Other information as required by the sponsor, department, or university

Once a Budget Change request is routed in GMAS for OSP review, the Awards Management and Operations (AMO) team will review the request and either submit to sponsor if required or will process the request internally.

Please contact your Central Administrator on the AMO team for any questions regarding rebudgets and account reallocations.
