What is the difference between a Co-Investigator and a Co-Principal Investigator?
A Co-Principal Investigator is recognized by the funding agency as an individual who shares with the PI the responsibility for the conduct of a research project, including meeting the reporting requirements. A Co-Investigator is an individual recognized by the Institute and the Principal Investigator as someone making a significant contribution to a project. The Co-Investigator is an individual that the PI relies on to assume responsibilities above those of other personnel.
