Purpose : This procedure demonstrates how to create grant transfers in G5. Grant transfers occur when the Department allows a grant to be moved from one grantee to another. The grant transfer is performed by a program officer in the program office. This process includes a series of steps, including creating/modifying the grant transfer request, printing the GAN for the original grantee and the new grantee and transferring the remaining award balance on the original award from the original grantee to the new grantee. The user does have the option to leave an amount on the original award for the original grantee to access during that award’s liquidation period.

Prerequisites : The prerequisite for this topic is:
1. An award exists in G5 with the status of "Obligated" for the current budget period.
For your information: When creating a grant transfer, you will provide information such as the effective date of the transfer, contact information for the new recipient, and the amount of funds to be transferred. As the program officer, you will have the option of leaving an amount on the original award for the original grantee to access during that award's liquidation period.
It is necessary that you print Grant Award Notifications (GANs) for both the original award and the new award are printed.
