Can a grant with a single PI add an additional PI during a non-competing year to become a multiple PI project?
(Question Added: 01/25/2007) No. The NIH requires input from peer reviewers to judge the appropriateness of the multiple PI approach using the review criteria described in Question E-1. As in the past and with prior approval from the NIH, a PI can replace an existing PI on a single-PI project or a multiple PI project as described in the section of the Grants Policy Statement called “Change in Status, Including Absence, of Principal Investigator and other Key Personnel”.
