The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), which funds most basic research in Germany, has a grant program that funds a temporary position ("Eigene Stelle") for novice principal investigators (PIs) who have completed their PhD.
If a PI is funded by the Eigene Stelle program and receives a different position outside of Germany, is it possible to "quit" the Eigene Stelle and "transfer" the associated funding to a different person (e.g. PhD student or Postdoc)?
