Amendments

Amendments will be used to make any necessary changes to the Agreement. Amendments will also now be used instead of Release of Funds letters to notify Subrecipients that funding for subsequent years of a project is available.  SPS will draft and send the Amendment to the Subrecipient and encumber the funds in KFS by amending the PO.

Please email Amendment requests to subawards@uconn.edu and provide any necessary information such as funding amount and budget period.
