Corali Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2008 1:29 PM To: xxxxxx@hrinet.org Subject: Re: [RESADM-L] final technical reports for NIH projects under competitive renewal The PI that I worked with closed out his project (submitted a final report, etc.). He had already had a no-cost extension plus the grant was spent out. 12 months after the end date (9 months after close out), he was awarded a continuation. Even though we processed the close out, he still retained the original grant number and continued the suffix numbering. He is now in year 6 of 10.
