Award transfers are handled by the GC&C^* Associate Director in ORS^*, Keith Hurka-Owen. Because they can be complicated and time consuming, it is helpful to contact ORS^* as soon as possible once a decision to transfer has been made.

The process of transferring awards from one institution to another is not a simple matter and requires negotiation between the sponsor, the old institution and the new institution. The negotiations are carried on by the two sponsored projects offices in consultation with the PI^*. Matters of concern are the form of transfer, determination of the unobligated balance, differences in F&A^* rates and the funding gap created by the time required to closeout and re-award the grant. The time involved can be several months depending on the complexity of the project being transferred.
