Does the Principal Investigator have to have a record of successful NIH funding?
ANSWER. No. It is important for the PI to have a record of successful funding, although it need not be from the NIH, and be able to manage large research projects of the type proposed in the application. The Center Director should be able to provide overall leadership, in collaboration with the proposed Co-director, for a center such as the one described in the RFA.
