Our policy is:

Regular tenured faculty, tenure-track faculty, non-tenure-track faculty
members (including emeritus and research faculty) and regular
professional staff members are eligible to serve as principal
investigators (PIs) on sponsored projects. Other University employees
may serve as PIs if properly qualified and with the approval of their
department chair and college dean or equivalents (e.g., director or vice
president). Authorizing officials must confirm the eligibility of a PI
prior to the initiation of any proposal and so notify the Office of
Sponsored Programs. Students, postdoctoral appointees, adjunct or
visiting faculty who are not University employees, and temporary
employees may serve as co-PIs as sponsor/program guidelines encourage or
permit. In such cases an eligible PI must be assigned to supervise the
co-PI’s role within the project.

Hi all,

How do you determine who can be a PI or Co-PI on a project for your
institution?  Does it have to be a full-time faculty member?  Can
adjuncts
be PI's?  What about staff or part-time employees?  Do you have a
policy
that addresses this?

Thanks for any info you care to share.  Have a great Thursday.

Carole
