Transferring An Award

Sponsored research agreements are awarded to the institution and not to the individual investigator. Contact Trudy Bright in OSR (brightt@georgetown.edu) for assistance in transferring a sponsored agreement from another institution to Georgetown University or from Georgetown University to another institution.

When transferring a sponsored agreement to Georgetown:

• The awardee (previous institution) must agree to relinquish the sponsored agreement before it can be transferred
• A new application must be submitted to the sponsor from Georgetown University (GU) that includes all applicable GU rates.

When transferring a sponsored agreement from Georgetown to a new institution:

• The PI must obtain Department Chair approval
• Notify the sponsor that the transfer is anticipated (OSR must sign the letter of notification)
• File all technical reports
• Notify SPFO so that financial reports can be prepared and unexpended balances or overdrafts can be handled appropriately
• Report all property to be transferred to Property Accounting including equipment being moved to another GU department.
