Extramural Support Proposals (Principal Investigator Status)

Policy Summary

Proposals for extramural support of research, training, or public service projects may be submitted only by eligible Berkeley campus appointees who have primary responsibility for design, execution, and management of the project, who will be involved in the project in a significant manner, and who will serve on a research project as principal investigator or on a training or public service project as project or program director. When two or more principal investigators are listed in a proposal, the first person named will be responsible for the overall supervision and management of the proposed project. In instances of multi-institutional projects, researchers who do not hold Berkeley campus appointments may be included as principal investigators or co-principal investigators for that portion of a project conducted under their direct supervision with project funds allocated or subcontracted to their home institution. In instances in which such subcontracting is impracticable, individuals without Berkeley appointments can be named as co-principal investigators but they cannot be the first Co-PI listed. The first co-principal investigator listed in the proposal must hold an eligible Berkeley campus appointment.
