Some graduate students at an institution affected by the Hurricane are funded as part of an NSF grant. Are the students able to transfer their NSF funds to another institution?
No, the funds remain with the institution that received the NSF award. However, upon request NSF will grant a no-cost extension to help defer the research activity until the institution is able to reopen or is capable of making operating decisions for their sponsored activities. If a researcher’s project is transferred to another institution, the researcher is encouraged to bring their graduate students with them to the new institution so that they can continue to participate in the activity. Support for those graduate students can then be included in the institutional transfer or subaward arrangement supporting the research.
