Process for changes to PI and FI personnel in CSET/SRC and Multi-investigator PI Awards
Process for changes to PI and FI personnel in CSET and SRC awards and multi-investigator PI awards
As per SFI Terms and Conditions the Foundation must be notified if there is any change in the status of Principal Investigators who hold active SFI awards. In addition SFI must be notified in advance if a researcher is to relinquish or assume control of SFI funds. SFI Principal Investigators (PIs), Co-Principal Investigators (Co-PIs) and SFI Funded Investigators (FIs) are designated as SFI Funded Researchers. Any change to SFI Funded Researchers must be approved by SFI in advance of assuming responsibility for overseeing research and/or research personnel supported by the Foundation.
It is the responsibility of the award holder to inform SFI in advance if:
- a PI, co-PI or FI is departing from an SFI award
- a PI, co-PI or FI is joining an SFI award and will be overseeing research funded by SFI
- a PI, co-PI or FI will be changing status within an SFI award.
In each case the primary point of contact will be the Scientific Programme Manager within SFI. Depending on the nature of the change, award holders may be asked to submit a revised budget and workplan for approval by SFI.
