The scope of work is the plan of operation. It describes not only what will be done, but also how the objectives will be accomplished in order to meet the goals outlined in the proposal.  The Principal Investigator is expected to carry out the activities and meet the timelines specified in the grant application.  It is important to note that usually the scope of work cannot be changed  without first obtaining the approval of the sponsoring agency.  Funding agencies vary with respect to the procedures that need to be followed and the forms that need to be filed, to request a change in the overall project plan.  The approval of the Research Foundation Operations Manager or designee is also required.  Therefore the Research Foundation Grants Management Department will handle submitting the request to the sponsor when a change in the scope of the project is warranted.  Contact the grants management liaison Lisa Gatti for more information.
