I agree with Aaron and add another issue, what if a PI has a grant that is
about to expire and they ask to spend the funds before the deadline. At MD
Anderson we DO NOT allow users to "pre-pay" for a service, i.e. have the core
bill for services before they are performed.

Hi Matt,
I would recommend against taking such an approach with "No Cost Extensions". At
Northwestern, we generally apply the term "No Cost Extension" to situations
where there is remaining unspent budget on a grant, but the project period has
ended. With the permission of the grantor, we simply extend the project period
so that remaining funds can be spent on project aims.
Letting some users finish projects for free after their primary funding has
been spent down would definitely violate the spirit of "treat all federal
sponsored projects the same" insofar as users who finished their projects
within their project period and budget would be essentially subsidizing the
projects that spent their full allocation. I would definitely avoid this.
Thanks,
Aaron
