Re: Proposal limitations?? Joseph Broderick 15 Mar 2001 14:11 EST
In the case where a sponsor has a limit on the number of applications per institution, you should set an internal deadline for submissions to the Research Office and, if necessary, convene a peer review committee to select the proposal to go forward. The quality of the proposal is a reflection of your institution. In a certain sense, you are telling the sponsor that this proposal is the best you have to offer. You would not want a mediocre proposal going out and damaging your reputation with that sponsor. If the initially selected PI pulls out at the last minute and the #2 proposal is strong and there is still time, put #2 in. If there is no time, there is little that you can do. I would be very reluctant to select PI #1 again for a competition of this kind however. -- Joseph B.
