This situation has come up a few times, and we have worked with the faculty member in the very same way that we would any other faculty.  Just means that we spend more time either on the phone or in email making sure (s)he understands our policies.  It was made clear in the proposal that the PI appointment was such and such a date.  I believe that the sponsors were industry and DOD.  And I never heard any comments from them on the subject.

Hi Everyone,

I have a question regarding new faculty submitting proposals.
The situation is that the faculty member's appointment begins
in February, 2000.  He is in industry now, not another university.
He would like to begin submitting proposals this summer and
fall for a start date after Feb., 2000.  What is your policy on
submitting proposals before a new faculty member's appointment
begins?  Specifically those coming from industry.

Secondly, does anyone know of an agency which would not
accept a proposal under these circumstances (except, of course,
the CAREER and Young Investigator award programs)?

Ruth
