1. Eligibility

Responsibilities for the intellectual direction of our externally sponsored teaching and research activities must rest with the faculty and may not be delegated to others, even on a temporary basis, without prior approval. Acting PIship is subject to the same criteria for eligibility as outlined in RPH 2.1, PI Eligibility and Criteria for Exceptions.

If the PI of an on-going sponsored project will not be engaged in the project for a period of three months or more, another Academic Council member or University Medical Line must be named as Acting PI to assume direction of the project, subject to the approval of the sponsoring agency.
