Does it matter in what order the Multiple PD/PIs are listed on the application?
Yes. The first PD/PI listed must be affiliated with the applicant small business concern ( SBC) organization submitting the application and will serve as the Contact PD/PI. For both the SBIR Phase I and SBIR Phase II, the primary employment of the “Contact PD/PI” must be with the SBC at the time of award and during the conduct of the proposed project . Occasionally, deviations from this requirement may occur. Such deviations must be approved in writing by the grants management officer after consultation with the NIH SBIR/STTR Program Coordinator.
