COVID-19 Guidance
For FAC Awards made in the 2019 - 2020 Academic year:
Awardees have an extra year to expend the funds and an extra year to file the report
(but receipts are still due within 60 days of expenditures)
Contact the chair of FAC if you will not be able to expend awarded funds by June
1, 2022, because unexpended funds will be lost at that time.
The nature and details of your project cannot change. To change the location you intended to travel, the conference you planned to attend, etc. would change the basis on which the funding decision was made, so unless you can do the same project at a different location, you must reapply for funding. If you have
questions about what changes might be acceptable without submitting a new proposal, consult the chair of FAC
