Principal Investigator Status
Normally, all faculty at the rank of assistant, associate, and full tenured and tenure-track faculty, as well as special research faculty in the ranks of research scientist, senior research scientist, project director, and research assistant, associate, and full professor are automatically eligible for PI status.
Faculty professionals and SRF ranks not listed above, may be considered for approval for PI status by submitting a completed Principal Investigator Status Request form provided below.
The request may be made for continuous PI status of an active employee or approval of PI status for a specific proposal submission. Criteria for approval is indicated on the form.
Please complete the PI Status Request Form and submit it, along with the person’s most current CV to OVPR Human Resources (0244). We will notify you by email upon approval.
Note: Requests for PI status for non-university faculty should be submitted using the P-85 form.
