If there is a person in the narrative that is integral to the project (and the naming is our measure of being "integral), and that proposal is accepted and awarded, you've got an agreement in which you need to deliver ALL the specs. Of course the named person has to have chops and skills to be named. Grad students, etc., as usual, don't count. SPanky At 11:21 AM 2/2/2005, you wrote: How interesting. I have recently met with HR and Affirmative Action at my institution (also a public, state institution) about this same issue The discussion came about because a PI insisted that she had to hire someone named in a grant application. While her need to hire this person was something of a straw dog, the issue itself is very important and we wanted to come up with an institutional guideline before it happened again. The consensus here was that naming on a grant has no "legal" authority. From the HR perspective, it bypasses the approved institutional hiring procedures. From the Affirmative Action perspective, it constitutes an unofficial "waiver" of pre-hire AA review. Does your HR office approve this process? What about issues of affirmative action review?
