Extensions to your grant
If you encounter problems with your grant that may result in a delay please contact the Diabetes UK Research department immediately so a time-only no-cost extension can be discussed. It is very rare that Diabetes UK will be able to provide funding for a costed extension to your grant or supplementary awards after funding has been agreed, but please contact the Research department should you wish to discuss this.
