College and Community Innovation (CCI) grants are now part of the funding opportunities that receive an automatic one-year extension, as per the Extension period for the authority to use grant funds section of the Tri-agency guide on financial administration. This change applies to new and current CCI grants with end dates of April 1, 2023, and beyond. 

CCI grant recipients may also submit a request for an additional extension, on top of the automatic extension, for one calendar year (12 months) in cases of justified extenuating circumstances (i.e., extended leaves of absence during the grant period and/or uncontrollable delays to funded research activities).
