A Principal Investigator (PI) has left the institution that was awarded the grant or cooperative agreement (CA) (de-obligation of funds and end grant) and wants to continue performance at the new institution they transferred to (re-obligation) of funds on a new award.

The request must have the required documents as specified below in-order to make a complete package and submitted by the Technical Officer (TO) or Resource Analyst (RA) or Center POC responsible for the award. The Transfer form should also be used for Grant Transfers.

Request submission timelines. Funding organizations, with the exception of HQ SMD, must use this webform to submit a complete PI transfer package for processing within seven calendar days of receiving the relinquishing organization’s and new organization’s packages. To ensure that the NSSC has sufficient time to process PI transfer requests, Grant Officers should not process PI transfer requests within the last 90 days of the relinquishing entity’s POP. For policy and guidance, please refer to the NASA Grant and Cooperative Agreement Procedures (GCAP), 4.2 Principal Investigator or Recipient Institution Change, sections 1.c. and 2. a-c.
