Hello fellow comrades,

I need some advice on the best way to move forward.

We have a multi-PI grant with three different institutions.  We would
like to change the Contact-PI as well as apply for a no cost extension.
To complicate matters further, the current Contact-PI has left their
institution and we are 3 months until the end of the Project period.  I
know there will need to be a relinquishment from the lead institution as
well as a letter signed by all three PI's asking for the change in
Contact-PI.

What do you suggest?  Can the relinquishment be done at the end of the
cycle along with the NCE? Or, do we ask have to ask the agency to first
relinquish and then proceed with the NCE?

Any guidance or insights would be appreciated.

Feel free to contact me off-line for additional details.
