Do all of my team members need to sign a Project Member Agreement (CRE & CT) or Expedition Member Agreement (EC) before I go into the field, or can I mail it in later?
CRE & CT: For those PIs who cannot feasibly have all of their team members sign a Project Member Agreement before they start their fieldwork, we will accept a signed original once you have met them in the field. EC: PIs of Expeditions Council grants should make every effort possible to have their team members sign an Expedition Member Agreement and mail it in before they go into the field. This will help prevent delays in any media-related activities resulting from your expedition. All Programs: If you cannot obtain all the necessary signatures of your collaborators in time for your fieldwork, please include an explanation with your grant paperwork, and the date that we can expect them. Failure to complete a Project or Expedition Member Agreement may affect the outcome of future grant applications to NGS.
