Printer FriendlyAward Transfer
Since awards are granted to the Institution and not in an individual capacity to the PI, you will need the support of the institution to effect the transfer. If you have accepted a position at another institution and desire to transfer any current awards you may have, you must, as early as possible, discuss the transfer with your Department Chair. Additionally, notice must also be given to the Agency which made the award and the Office of Research Administration and Advancement.
Transfering an award from UM to another institution is an action that must be approved by the agency. All such requests must be routed through the Office of Research Administration and Advancement. Some agencies, such as NSF and NIH have standardized this procedure and require submission of forms bearing institutional signatures. Other sponsors prefer that a substitute PI is designated at UMCP and the remaining work subcontracted to your new institution.
In all instances, in addition to agency-required forms, the Office of Research Administration and Advancement requires a letter, signed by the PI and the Department Chair, documenting the request for transfer.
