I submitted a single-PD/PI application that was not funded. Can I include an additional PD/PI in a resubmission application?
Yes. You can add additional PD/PIs to create a leadership team. Remember that all PD/PIs must have a PD/PI role type in the NIH Commons and that a multiple-PD/PI application must include a Leadership Plan. You also should mention the addition of the new team member(s) when you describe the nature of the revisions in the Introduction section of the amended application. If a new team member will be the Contact PD/PI on the resubmission application, you will be required to indicate a change in PD/PI on the PHS 398 Checklist component; indicating yourself as the “former PD/PI”. However you must still list yourself as a PD/PI in the Senior/Key Person Profile.
