My recent history with NIH is that the amount of the award is a bottom line
number. It includes both direct and indirect dollars. It is our
responsibility at the institution to transition as best we can on behalf of
the PI while adhering to institutional and agency policies and guidelines.

We have recently transferred a few NIH grants and the award was not adjusted
at all. We took the bottom line amount and "backed out" our F&A when we
issued the award.

If it's a mid-year transfer, you can only apply for the total unexpended
amount for that year.  So if your indirect cost rate is higher than
where the PI's transferring from, the PI will have less directs to work
with.  For the unobligated years, F&A is assessed on the direct cost
amounts previously awarded to the other institution.
