During project implementation, PIs may need to make changes to their project from the proposal submission. Depending on the sponsor, UVA may need to solicit prior approval before these project changes can take place. Please reach out to your post-award research administrator as soon as possible to ensure the required sponsor approvals are in place before changes are made. Some common changes that may require sponsor prior approval include:

- Change in PI or PI effort

- Movement of available funds across budget lines

- Purchase of non-budgeted equipment

- Change in scope of work

- New subaward or consultant

- New travel plans

- No cost extension
