The Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) has been seeing increasing delays in processing outgoing grant transfers and other time-sensitive action items that arise when a faculty member departs the University. Sponsors, including government agencies, expect award transfers and their related activities to occur in a timely manner to ensure there is minimal disruption to externally funded and high-priority projects.
Please initiate grant transfer requests, including required relinquishing statements, as soon as possible to facilitate a smooth transfer process for the faculty and receiving institutions.
For more information and guidance related to departing faculty members, see the Checklist for Investigators Leaving the University.
