Sample Request for PI Status
PI
Roles and Responsibilities
It is the University policy that only those with whom the University
has or intends to have an on-going contractual relationship may serve
as Principal Investigators or Program Directors for projects, research
or otherwise, supported by external funding sources. This policy is implemented
as follows:
The status of principal investigators is granted as a matter of privilege
to regular rank faculty and to select senior administrative staff. This
status is available to faculty on the tenure tack and to to other regular
faculty on the research and "practice of" tracks. In special
instances, other members of the University community may request permission
to serve as Principal Investigator. Requests for PI status should be sent
on behalf of the individual with an approval and endorsement from the
relevant department chair (if applicable) to the dean; the request should
include an endorsement and an assurance that the department will assume
responsibility for the conduct of the grant or contract.
The status of principal investigator is granted as a matter of privilege
to all faculty in the Medical Center and to select senior administrative
staff. This status is available to faculty on the tenure track and to
other regular faculty on the research, clinical and "practice of"
tracks. In addition, faculty who are appointed to the non-regular tracks
may serve as Principal Investigators with the approval and endorsement
of their departmental chairpersons, who assure the assumption of responsibility
for the conduct of the grant should the Principal Investigator not remain
with the University for the duration of the grant.
