Hi, all!
I've seen a few discussions on this topic, but wanted to revisit it with this group and maybe get some fresh insight.
How do you handle external personnel serving as Co-PIs, senior personnel or collaborators on grants if there will not be a subaward issued?
What is your policy on who can be a Co-PI? Do you also have any policies regarding senior personnel or collaborators who are not employees of your institution? And what about procedures? Do you require any type of agreement (beyond statement that they will abide by your policies)?
I'm especially thinking about things like ensuring compliance, training requirements, etc., for federal awards, but of course I am also interested in what happens if the person doesn't complete the work, assist with reporting, etc... any of the post-award management concerns.
I've had to chase down my fair share of PIs who have left the institution and not completed reports, etc., so I am wondering if anyone has anything to help guide these instances where the person isn't even an employee to begin with.
Thanks!
Pam
