Hi, Donna,

My initial instinct would be to work with the sponsor to let them know that the Co-PI has left the institution, and not name a replacement unless there is a programmatic need to do so.  You definitely have a point on the cost share - if the work the Co-PI was responsible for is already done, what would be the effort/cost share for a replacement?

Good luck!
Lori

 Hi Everyone,

 I need your advice.  Would you approve a request for a change of Co-PI on a
 5-year award that has only 5 months remaining when the time and effort for
 the last year of the award of the original Co-PI  had already been
 completed before she left the college?  This is not a research award, but
 rather a programmatic grant with a student program and scholarships that
 will be completed this May. Our post-award signator has asked my advice on
 this. (I direct the pre-award office.)  My concern is that including a
 replacement at this stage not only diminishes the standing of the original
 Co-PI, as she contributed to the writing of the grant and her work has been
 completed. Also, I may be mistaken, but wouldn't adding a new Co-PI
 represent a cost share or can we just increase the time allocation for this
 new person?   Am I mistaken to raise such concerns? We are trying to
 determine if we should just report that the Co-PI left the college or if a
 request for replacement Co-PI makes any sense.

 Any thoughts are welcome. Thank you!

 Donna
