The PI is moving and they want to move the whole contract and project to the new institution. What is the process for doing this?
You will need to seek our agreement to this, as our agreement is with the institution not the PI. We would need formal letters from the old and new institutions confirming they are happy with the change. We would also need a financial reconciliation from the old institution. Then, if agreed, we would issue a ‘Deed of Novation’. This is a legal document between both institutions and the Department of Health.
