On Multi-PI applications, must each PI contribute 15% effort?
This program requires a substantial commitment from the senior leadership of each award. As stated in the FOA, “Due to the complex nature of the anticipated effort, including managing data production, informatics/analysis, and collaborations, PIs must invest a minimum of 15% of their time and effort to this award.” The NIH considers that a 15% time commitment from the PD/PIs ought to be a minimal level of commitment to the program. When deciding on roles within the team, particularly within the leadership team of the project, applicants should consider the experience and level of commitment possible for each member. The review panel will seriously consider the qualifications and commitment of the PD/PIs and the senior leadership team in the application. For such a substantial endeavor, the applicants should also include a management and leadership plan.
