Have you ever heard of NASA saying that funds on a Training Grant
Supplement must be spent by the end of NASA's fiscal year (Sep 30, 1999)
even though the project expiration date on the Training Grant is not
until Feb 28, 2000?

We have received incremental funding (6 Supplements) on a NASA Training
Grant. A NASA Contract Officer told me that NASA considers the project
expiration date to be Feb 28, 2000, because that is the expiration date
on Supplement 6. However, the appropriation code on Supplement 2 shows
that Supplement 2 funds are NASA's 1998 funds, which expire on Sep 30,
1999. We are being told by NASA that we must spend the Supplement 2
funds by Sep 30, 1999, even though the project expiration date is Feb
28, 2000.

This same NASA contract officer said that a no-cost extension would
extend the project ending date, but would not effect the deadline by
which the grant funds must be expended! I would appreciate hearing from
anyone who has encountered this situation with NASA.

Thanks,
Laurie
