Plan ahead:
- If you manage a contract or grant, anticipate receiving the awards. Ahead of time, complete a Request for Advance Approval form (download from OCGA site) for pending awards to avoid any delays after you receive the awards.
Use this form when:

- It is essential to advance funds.
- Other funding exists to cover the risk of a delayed start date or failure of award.
- Read the terms and conditions of the award so you know what expenses are allowed.
- Request timely extensions from the agency if the work is not completed and you need the available funds to complete the remaining work.
