I have a question to pose to the group today.  The NIH Grants Policy Statement provides guidance on title to equipment when a grant terminates.  What I'm interested in knowing is how different institutions define "terminated".  Since competitive renewals always maintain the original award number (e.g., HD23456-11), do you treat the previous competitive segments as terminated, and therefore what I call "clear title" to the equipment vests with the university, or does your university consider the award terminated when no further competitive renewals are approved?

Thanks very much--I look forward to your responses.
