The School will follow federal guidelines with respect to equipment purchased by federal grants that are transferring with the transitioning faculty member; and any non-federal sponsor guidelines for equipment purchased by non-federal grants. Generally, equipment requested for transfer and purchased by sponsored projects still active will be allowed to transition with the faculty member. Equipment eligible for sale to receiving institution will be sold unless Chair requests a waiver from the Dean.
Process:
