Hi All,

Last year’s NSF MRI funding notice mentioned that biosketches were required for the PI, Co-PIs and any designated Senior Personnel listed on the budget.  While individuals deemed Major Users did not need to include this information.

2017 Funding Notice
In accordance with the Grant Proposal Guide, the proposal must include two-page biographical sketches of the PI and any Co-PI(s) (i.e., those personnel listed on the cover sheet), as well as any designated senior personnel (see Section V.A.1) listed on the budget. Other individuals who will be major users or developers of the relevant research instrumentation may be described in the Project Description but should not include a biographical sketch.

This year’s funding notice has slightly different wording.

2018 Funding Notice
The proposal must include two-page biographical sketches of the PI and any Co-PI(s) (i.e., those personnel listed on the Cover Sheet), as well as any designated Senior Personnel. Other individuals who will be minor users or developers of the relevant research instrumentation may be described in the Project Description but should not include a biographical sketch.

We were wondering if under this year’s guidance Major Users are to be deemed Senior Personnel (even if they are not listed on the budget) and hence we would need to grab their biosketches, current and pending and collaborators and other affiliations information documents.

Thanks and Happy Friday!
