Peter,

When you read the NIH policy, do you get the impression they sometimes seem
more concerned with the concept of KEY PERSONNEL as individuals who can
carry the proposed project to completion, not necessarily as employees of
applicant organization?

NIH GRANT POLICY STATES: "Key Personnel: Individuals who contribute in a
substantive way to the scientific development or execution of a project,
whether or not they receive compensation from the grant supporting that
project. The principal investigator is included in this category."

Then, in the PHS 398 packet under Principal Investigator they just want you
to list or "name the ONE person responsible to the applicant organization
for the scientific and technical direction of the project." They don't say,
"this person must be an employee of applicant organization."

It also seems that and "adjunct appointment" implies an arm's length
relationship to the department and organization.

Just some thoughts,

Tim

Kim--

Thanks.  I'd like to get a copy of the policy.  I'm astonished that so
many schools allow this--i.e., allow persons who are not employees to
apply for grants.  Have to study the policies to see what controls are
in place.  We in fact also allow it--even have a written policy--but I'm
very uncomfortable with it.

Thanks

Peter
