EdeX Grant Variation

Requests for variations, including budget virement, project extension, changes to project scope, or changes in PI or Co-PI, must be submitted through RISE (https://fibi.ntu.edu.sg). These requests should include justifications and are to be accompanied by evidence of satisfactory progress. (2FA login may be required to access RISE)

Requests for an increase in funds will not be considered, as the awarded funds are final.

A request for a project extension must be accompanied by a progress report that outlines the current status of the project and includes milestones achieved. The maximum duration for a grant extension is limited to 6 months, unless there are compelling reasons for a longer extension.

For instructions on how to submit for grant variation, please refer to the resources available at RISE webpage.
