There are projects that are inherently institutional, and not your typical
RO1 that would follow the PI.  Remember, the awards are made to the
institution, not the PI, so at KU, the chair or director of the
department/unit makes the decision on whether or not a leaving faculty
member takes a sponsored project with him/her.  In most cases, the project
is dependent on the PI and it wouldn't make sense for the university to
prevent the project from leaving with the PI.  But we have definitely had
projects that were based at KU and it made perfect sense to appoint a
different PI and keep the project here.  Sometimes in a case like that we
would subcontract a portion of the project (if necessary) to the leaving PIs
new institution.

Subject: [RESADM-L] protocol?

Hello. I am new to the list and fairly new to my position. I have a two part
question and would appreciate your feedback. Here goes:

My provost has asked under what circumstances would an institution not allow
the grant to follow the PI to his/her new institution; I told him it is
customary for a university to allow the grants to go with the PI, that it is
common practice.  So a two-part question, what is customary and why, and
under what circumstances would a university deny?

thanks !
