Using grants while on unpaid leave When a professor goes on unpaid leave from her university, can she normally continue to use her grants to fund graduate students and postdocs?  Or, do all grants "freeze" until the professor returns?
I don't see any reason that a professor wouldn't be able to continue to use grants while on leave.  In fact, I'm on unpaid leave from my home institution right now, and have been able to use my grants (for travel support for myself), so that's one data point.
