I think roles and definitions exist. Maybe not in Grants.Gov but the standard has them. I can send it to you if you want Joe Bass xxxxxx@jsb-consulting.com --- Original Message --- From: Charlie Hathaway <xxxxxx@AECOM.YU.EDU> Sent: Fri 8/26/2005 3:27 pm To: xxxxxx@HRINET.ORG Subject: Re: [RESADM-L] Roles on research projects I don't think there is a list of acceptable roles. Other than PI, I doubt the feds would attempt definitions. Definitions would limit the ability of researchers to do what they think needs to be done. Who's to say there could never be a "Snake Charmer" or "Massage Therapist" on a grant? As for Co-PIs (a meaningless term at present)...I'll bet the new policy uses equal lead investigators at different institutions as a proto-typical example of why true Co-PIs are needed.
