According to Arkie in a previous post:
Found out a bit more about the position at UTMB-Galveston. As you may recall, they came up with a job specifically for me and posted it with a salary that matches my current level. Job description was such that I'm probably the only person in the country that was qualified.
I think we have the answer

Re: The Job Search Thread
YEAH!
Not only a raise but the satisfaction that you leave your current position with your integrity intact and the knowledge that they have no clue how much they will miss you. PHB will live to regret the day he didn't follow your lead.

Did everything go okay with telling the grant applicant?
What happens with the abstract?

Arkie: Create a spreadsheet, and document EVERY FREAKIN' EXPENSE in your move, including expenses you incur before, during, and after the move. CONSULT with a tax person! Find out what you can and can't use for tax purposes.
