You can add co-PIs from other institutions in FastLane, just depends on
your institution's policies.  As long as you have their social security
number they can be added in FastLane, doesn't matter what institution
they are from.

Terri,

I just asked this question (kind of) to NSF on a proposal we sent in a
few months ago.  Our PI wanted to list someone from another institution
as a Co-PI and you cannot do it in Fastlane.  Co-PI status is only
acceptable from someone from your own institution  UNLESS that person
submits the IDENTICAL proposal to NSF via Fastlane and each "PI" notes
that this is a Collaborative proposal.
Unless the person is "key" or a "subcontract," then the PI doesn't
really need to refer to anyone else in the proposal, but as we know in
the political realm we work in, our PIs scratch each others backs!

 Subject: [RESADM-L] Roles on research projects

 We have had several discussions about the various roles on
research projects, their definitions, and their responsibilities or
spending privileges on the projects.

 Does anyone know if these roles have been defined by the federal
government for federal projects? Or is this up to the discretion of the
sponsor or university as to who can serve as what, and the
duties/privileges each role will have?

 For example...if one of our investigators wants to include an
investigator from another institution on a proposal...that investigator
can serve as a:
 1. subcontractor/subawardee
 2. collaborator
 3. consultant
 4. senior personnel/key personnel/other significant contributor
 5. ?  other options?

 Secondly, we do not currently allow those from other
institutions to serve as co-PIs on our projects unless it is a sponsor
requirement. But now there's talk of multiple-PI's on projects...yikes!

 Anyone know of a complete list of research personnel allowed on
federal projects? with definitions of roles and who has spending
authority or not?

 I couldn't find anything in the RESADM-L archives...or
NCURA...or SRA regarding this.
 Some university websites provide definitions..but none
references a federal source.
 Are there any?
 Thanks,
 Terri
