Principal Investigator鈥檚 Responsibilities

Responsibilities:

Principal Investigators are responsible for:

  • Identifying 鈥Investigators鈥 on a proposal award and modification to scope of work
  • Conflict of Interest disclosure form must be submitted at the time of grant proposal submission. All investigators must have a current (within last 12 months) COI disclosure in COI Risk Manager
  • If grant proposal is recommended for funding, ensure 鈥Investigators鈥 take COI training
  • If the Principal Investigator identifies any 鈥Investigators鈥 during the life cycle of the grant, they must complete COI training before engaging in research.

Who is an Investigator?

An investigator is anyone responsible for the design, conduct, or reporting of research, regardless of their title or role on the project or the receipt of funding (this definition includes adjunct faculty, students, volunteers, subcontractors, consultants, collaborators, research coordinators, research assistants, and other research staff).

Consider both title and role in determining whether a person is an 鈥Investigator鈥 on a project.

Role

The person鈥檚 role is significant enough that they are considered an 鈥Investigator鈥 if:

  • The person has independent responsibility for their contributions to the design, conduct or reporting of research
  • The person has a level of responsibility likely to have a meaningful impact on the results of the research
  • The person directly contributes to the scientific development or execution of the project in a substantive way

Title

The PI, Co-PI, PD, Co-PD and Senior/Key Personnel named in the proposal for funding, the award, or in a subaward, subcontract or progress report, may be determined to be an 鈥Investigator鈥:

  • A postdoc or graduate student paid on a fellowship should be considered an 鈥淚nvestigator鈥
  • Postdocs on a research grant, consultants, and collaborators may sometimes be considered an 鈥淚nvestigator鈥
  • Graduate students on a research grant or other personnel (lab tech, etc.) are rarely considered an 鈥淚nvestigator鈥
