Can a project be headed by an individual who is K08 funded? Can junior investigators serve as a project PI? Is prior R01 funding necessary?
While not a requirement, most project leaders with the appropriate experience are likely to have already received R01 grants or other similar support. Similar to level of effort, no specific level of seniority is required but the experience of the investigators will be considered by the review committee. Investigators are encouraged to contact program officers to discuss their qualifications.
