I have a MERIT (R37) grant as a single PI. Can this be converted to a Multiple PI project at the time of the T-4 extension application?
No. The conversion from a single to a multiple PI application must receive peer review by an initial review group. MERIT T-4 applications do not receive this level of peer review—they receive an administrative review by NIH IC staff prior to the review of the IC Council/Board. Single PI R37s will remain single PI until the next time they undergo peer review.
