If funds are allocated among the PD/PIs, could one PD/PI be given sole authority to reallocate money?
No. A basic principle of the multiple-PD/PI model is that each named PD/PI is equally responsible and accountable for the research project. Re-allocation of funds must be via a joint decision of the PD/PIs, and the process for re-allocation should be included as part of the approach described in the Leadership Plan.
