PI Transfer

Post Award CRAs will contact the sponsor and send an official letter/email to relinquish the award in the applicable system.

If the award will remain at UNT Health and the PI is leaving, the Chair and Dean—working with the PI—will recommend a new PI to the sponsor. Post Award CRAs will then submit the request for sponsor approval. If approved, OSP will receive approval from the sponsor naming the new PI.

To submit the request, we need the following:

• A statement from the PI/Chair/Dean explaining why the award should stay and why the proposed PI is qualified to continue the project.
• The biographical sketch of the proposed new PI.
• The new PI’s current and pending support.
• Any budget or cost center changes related to the PI change.
• If applicable, any change in level of effort (a 25% or greater reduction must be reported).
