Who is an Investigator?
An Investigator is anyone who participates in designing research, collecting research or performing other substantive research activities, or reporting research; and anyone who participates in designing, conducting, or reporting with respect to a sponsored program. Investigators may include: (1) academic appointees; (2) anyone, including but not limited to, staff and students who are involved in the design, conduct, or reporting of research or sponsored programs; and (3) emeritus faculty to the extent that they still actively perform research or sponsored programs under the auspices of the University.
