A revised PI Departure, Request for Grant Transfer, or Request for Approval of Adjunct, Visiting, Emeritus or Retired Faculty as PI Workflow form has been launched and is required for Principal Investigators who have federal or non-federal sponsored projects (fund 500 or 510) for which they plan to take any of the following actions:

• Transferring a grant to a new institution
• Ending/early termination with PI’s departure
• Requesting a change in PI for the project to stay at the UI
• Requesting VPR approval to serve as a PI in an adjunct, visiting, or emeritus appointment

A separate Workflow form is required for each project:

It is recommended that the department initiate the PI Departure, Request for Grant Transfer, or Request for Approval of Adjunct, Visiting, Emeritus or Retired Faculty as PI at least 90 days prior to the PI's departure or effective date of the requested change.

PDFs of the prior forms will no longer be accepted for any of these actions. This revised Workflow form contains information previously requested on the individual PDFs.

Workflow path and approvals:

The form will be initiated by the PI's department through Workflow. The form is located on the DSP e-Forms page.The form will automatically route to the PI, Departmental Research Administrator, Departmental Executive Officer, and Dean for approval before submission to GAO for review.

GAO approval is only an indication that the form has been completed accurately and appropriate documentation is attached to proceed with the requested action. This will prompt DSP to take the appropriate and necessary action based upon the request and information contained on the form. Additional offices may contact you based on the nature of your project and answers to questions on the form.
