What if I want to spend funds differently than indicated in my proposal or award budget?

PCORI allows re-budgeting within any budget category based on the total amount approved for that category over the project period of performance. The re-budgeting should not result in a change in the amount of the overall approved contract budget.

PCORI’s written approval is required for any re-budgeting exceeding 25% for Personnel and Travel budget categories. The recipient institution shall submit a request on letterhead to fundedpfa@pcori.org that is signed by the authorized Administrative Official and inclusive of a detailed budget and budget justification for each program year.
