Can we use some of the budget to support project coordination? Must a project coordinator be a Co-PI?
For some of the current PIRE projects, strong coordination has been a key contributor to early success. So yes, part of the PIRE budget may be used to support project coordination, (e.g., part-time salary for a coordinator, coordination meetings, support for an outside advisory committee) on a scale commensurate with the complexity of the partnership. The project coordinator does not have to be a Co-PI. If the project coordinator is a PI, Co-PI, or other Senior Personnel, the amount of salary that they can receive from the PIRE award is limited to two months per year for the PI and one month per year for Co-PI and other Senior Personnel.
