Why aren all individuals designated by the applicant organization as senior/key personnel named in the NoA?
All PD/PI(s) are named in the NoA. NIH program officials use discretion in identifying in the NoA senior/key personnel other than the PD/PI(s). This does not diminish the scientific contribution to the project of the other senior/key personnel; it merely limits the number of individuals that are affected by the prior approval requirement to those specifically named in the NoA. See Section G. for prior approval requirements.
