Barbara:
No official policy at my current institution but here are some suggestions
(all of which I have used at one time or another):
- send ever more threatening warnings to the faculty member
- enlist the aid of the faculty member's chair and/or dean to resolve the
issue
- refuse to transfer indirect cost recovery to this faculty member should
your institution have a policy of providing these funds as research
incentive
- refuse to submit new proposals/continuations/renewals for the faculty
member
- covertly inform other faculty members funded by the sponsor about the
recalcitrant PI if the sponsor is threatening to shut off all funds to the
institution
- if your faculty member has left the institution, contact his or her new
employer and let them know about the problem

I would like to know how other institutions handle an investigator who
refuses to write and file a final grant report for a federal sponsor.
What sanctions, if any, do you enact? And are these sanctions spelled
out in an official policy? Thanks.
