Can an ARRA CAREER award be transferred?
If grants funds have been expended, a CAREER award cannot be transferred (see above). Just as with other ARRA awards, however, the subaward mechanism is an available option in lieu of transfer. Should this mechanism be used, the subaward institution must meet the organizational eligibility criteria specified in the CAREER solicitation. Although the prime awardee will need to appoint a substitute PI at their institution, the CAREER awardee must be the PI on the subaward. In addition, the Chair at the subawardee institution must submit a letter (email is sufficient) confirming that the PI is in a tenure-track position or on tenured appointment with education responsibilities, and that he/she supports the PI’s CAREER goals as outlined in the originally submitted proposal.
