If the grant is for an individual research project, the general practice is
to let it go to the new institution with the PI. If there are several
co-investigators involved, then you have to decide if the majority of the
work is staying or going to determine who will be the prime and who a
subcontractor, and then get sponsor approval of the proposed new
arrangement. If it is an institutional improvement type grant, or an
institutionalized program like Upward Bound, then it generally stays at the
University and someone replaces the PI (with sponsor approval, of course).
