Charlie -
From http://grants.nih.gov/grants/multi%5Fpi/faq.htm#a1

The Principal Investigator or Project Director/Principal Investigator (PD/PI) is
defined as:

A PD/PI is/are the individual(s) judged by the applicant organization to have the
appropriate level of authority and responsibility to direct the project or program
supported by the grant.  The applicant organization may designate multiple
individuals as PD/PIs who share the authority and responsibility for leading and
directing the project, intellectually and logistically.  Each PD/PI is responsible
and accountable to the applicant organization, or, as appropriate, to a collaborating
organization, for the proper conduct of the project or program including the
submission of all required reports."

The presence of more than one identified PD/PI on an application or award diminishes
neither the responsibility nor the accountability of any individual PD/PI.

Hope this helps,

Subject: [RESADM-L] NIH PIs

Can someone confirm that NIH has (for the typical research grant)
zero rules about WHO can be a PI.

i.e. postdoc, Adjunct Prof, Asst Prof, Full Prof, Prof Emeritus, etc
as PI...if an institution backs the proposal, NIH will review?

thanks

Charlie
