Are there implications for applications that propose New Investigators as multiple-PD/PIs?
Multiple-PD/PI applications may include established and/or New Investigators. However, the application will only be considered a New Investigator application when all of the PD/PIs meet the NIH definition of New Investigator. New investigator incentives are applied to applications rather than individual PD/PIs (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/new_investigators/resources.htm) .
