Health Care & Other Facilities Construction Awards

Revisions to the 5-Year Budget and Project Period

Appropriated funds are available for five years from September 30 of the fiscal year they are awarded, after which they are automatically returned to the U.S. Treasury.

The Congress has legislated that this five-year period cannot be extended by HRSA, regardless of the justification. Although there is a maximum limit of five years, drawdowns are also limited by the project period and budget period end dates listed in the Notice of Grant Award.

Failure to include revised timelines and failure to request an extension to your budget and project period in advance may result in your Federal funds being unavailable until the matter is resolved.

If your project will extend beyond the established project period and budget period listed in your Notice of Grant Award, you should:

  1. Include the revised project timeline in your Project Status Update to the Program Office, with an explanation for the delay; and
  2. Contact the grants management specialist listed in your Notice of Grant Award to request an extension of your project and/or budget period.
