Why not simply have applicants use the Program Project Grant (P01) mechanism instead of developing this new model?
The multiple-PI model is not mechanism-based. The P01 award is for the support of broad-based multidisciplinary and often multifaceted research projects that involve distinct subprojects that address a well-defined major objective or central theme. There are examples of P01 grants that could benefit from the multiple-PI model in the same way as single component research projects. Limiting the multiple-PI option to large, multiple-component grants could miss important research opportunities.
