Grant Runner RR Key Person Expanded

This form page is for listing the PD/PI and up to 99 Senior/Key Persons.

Project Director/Principal Investigator

The basic data for the PD/PI is populated for the person you selected in the Wizard. If you need to change the PI or edit some of the information, go to the eGC1’s PI, Personnel, & Organizations page.

If the PI for the eGC1 is different than the PI for the Grant Runner application, use the Application PI role type on the eGC1’s PI, Personnel, & Organizations page.  The Application PI’s information will then populate the Key Person Expanded form.

If the directory data is incorrect, please ask the PD/PI to log in to Workday to make any necessary changes.

The following table describes the editable fields for the PD/PI.

Field Description
Credential, e.g. agency login Enter the eRA Commons login for the PD/PI. This is a mandatory field for NIH submissions.
Degree Type Enter the highest academic or professional degree earned or other credentials (for example, RN) for the Principal Investigator.
Degree Year Enter the year the highest degree or other credential was obtained.
Biographical Sketch Provide a biographical sketch for PD/PI, being sure to format it as described in the sponsor application instructions. For general attachment information, see eGC1 and Grant Runner Attachments.
Current and Pending Support Note: Unless otherwise required in a specific FOA, do not include this attachment for NIH and other PHS agency submissions. This information is no longer required at the time of application submission.

Attach a list of all current and pending support for the PD/PI (even if they receive no salary support from the project(s)) for ongoing projects and pending applications. Be sure to format it as described in the sponsor application instructions.
