I am preparing an R01 application for a receipt date next summer. Should I let the committee know my plans to submit so that they will feel an urgency to approve my extension?

My military spouse and I lived in a remote location where my spouse was stationed. Because this location was so remote, I was not able to obtain employment. Can I request an extension for this time away from research?
