You say that this will be a good thing vis-a-vis career advancement because we
have always viewed "PI-dom" as a prestigious club.  Well, as more and more
people become PIs, and everyone starts to wonder who is the "real PI"
or "senior PI" etc on a multiple PI grant, the automatic prestige may lessen.
Still, in the long run I think it forces everyone to place more importance on
what gets done with/published from a grant being awarded than simply on the
grant itself...and this is good.

As for institutions...how is this going to affect rankings?  How will NIH
assign $$ to a school when there are multiple PIs?
