It happens. Usually the original university has other active grants/PIs tied to it and is doing research/activities on the same subject. It really depends on how much justification they give you, if they chose to give you any substantial explanation. In my experience, it doesn’t happen often, but frequent enough.

Colleagues
Has anyone encountered a situation where an incoming faculty member (in the process of transferring NIH grants to our institution) has been denied the transfer of NIH grant-purchased equipment by his former institution? I realize that the title to the equipment vests with the transferring institution, but in 22 years, I have never encountered this refusal to relinquish grant-funded equipment for ongoing projects.
Thanks for any insight.
