What is a PI Role?
A Principal Investigator (PI) is designated by the grantee organization to direct the project or activity being supported by the grant. The PI is responsible and accountable to the grantee for the proper conduct of the project or activity. The role of the PI within the NIH eRA Commons is to complete the grant process, either by completing the required forms via the NIH eRA Commons or by delegating this responsibility to another individual. A PI can access information for any grant and only those grants for which they are designated the PI.
