You must have prior approval from your NIDDK program director to take your grant with you. This is because your grant was awarded based upon not only your qualifications and your research project, but also upon your mentor’s expertise and your research environment. When the possibility of moving comes up, or when you start to look for positions at other institutions, contact your program director immediately to avoid the possibility of having the transfer request disapproved. Our instructions for transferring a fellowship (F32) and career development (K) or research project (R) award are slightly different. (download instructions for fellowships, for Ks and Rs)
