At my institution, the Public Health Institute, we have this happen
every so often.  We simple call the funder to advise them that the check
needs to be made out to PHI, and return the check for a replacement,
made out correctly.

We had an instance with this particular sponsor (National Geographic) a
couple of years ago in which the PI submitted a proposal through our
Sponsored Programs office but the check was cut directly to the
individual.
Word of caution:  this caused somewhat of a dilemma since the PI
included
institutionally supported cost share in the proposal, yet the
institution
had no means of controlling or monitoring the funds received.

Ideally, the check should have been signed over to the University.

I am interested in learning if, or how, your institution handles awards
that are made directly to a researcher, e.g. National Geographic, etc.
Have you been successful in getting any such sponsor to reissue the
award to your institution?  Thanks in advance for your help.
