(New: 06/24/2009) NIH Policy supports such a transfer; however, because of the requirement by the HHS Payment Management System to have a unique Document Number schema for ARRA awards, NIH is not able to use established business processes to accommodate such a transfer. While we can transfer an application before an ARRA award is issued, options currently available to transfer awarded ARRA grants are quite limited. PD/PIs should be forthcoming in advising NIH IC staff of the possibility of upcoming transfers when contacted about possible funding of an application with ARRA dollars so that options can be discussed before an ARRA award is issued. NIH is developing a new business process to accommodate these transfers; however, at this time we do not know how long a solution might take to implement.
