Research education programs may not be transferred from one institution to another, unless strongly justified (see Section VI.2).
Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards.
Because the nature and scope of the proposed research ethics education programs will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary.
The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the mechanism, numbers, quality, duration, and costs of the applications received.
