The Multidisciplinary Research Grant (MRG) program requires equal effort from the PIs – what does this mean?
This means that the research contribution from each of the 3 or more disciplines making up the project must be equal in significance. We also expect that the PIs labs will contribute approximately equal time, but it does not need to be exact. The Multidisciplinary Research Grant (MRG) program requires that all PIs and significant contributors be listed on the budget sheet. What do I put in the column for “Amount available from other sources?” This column should be left blank since PI salaries are not an allowable match. However, funds can be requested. If no funds are requested, this column should also be left blank, but the names should still be listed.
