The statement reads:<\/p>\n

Principal Investigator\/Program Director Assurance: I certify that the statements in this eGC1 and the related sponsor application are true, complete and accurate to the best of my knowledge. I am aware that any false, fictitious, or fraudulent statements or claims may subject me to criminal, civil, or administrative penalties. I agree to accept responsibility for the scientific conduct of the project and to provide the required progress reports if a grant is awarded as a result of this application.<\/p>\n

If this is a multiple PI application, I understand that if I am the eGC1 PI, my approval of the eGC1 indicates I have obtained written assurances from external PIs named in this application that include this Non-UW Multiple PI Assurance Statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The approval\/agreement reads:<\/p>\n

I am the PI and I have read and agree with the PI Assurance Statement. I understand that approving this eGC1 electronically is equivalent to my signature.<\/p>\n

If the PI approves the eGC1 when it is routing, the Assurance Statement will display in the approval dialog as part of that approval.<\/p>\n

Our federal sponsors requested we include an Assurance Statement. Principal Investigators must certify to the truth and accuracy of all sponsor application contents, acknowledge that penalties could apply if wrong-doing is found, and accept responsibility for scientific conduct and submission of project reports for funded projects.<\/p>\n

PI approval of this eGC1 and application in SAGE is equivalent to, and may replace, their signature on the sponsor face page.<\/p>\n

Application PI<\/h2>\n

A UW Application PI is added to an eGC1 approval graph when the eGC1 is created. Just like UW PIs, the UW Application PI<\/a> provides their assurance via approval of an eGC1.<\/p>\n

UW Multiple PIs<\/h2>\n

UW Multiple PIs are added to an eGC1 approval graph when the eGC1 is created. Just like UW PIs, UW Multiple PIs<\/a> provide their assurance via approval of an eGC1.<\/p>\n

Non-UW Application or Multiple PI<\/h2>\n

The eGC1 PI is responsible for securing and retaining a Multiple PI Assurance Statements from any Non-UW Multiple PIs or Application PI in their local unit files.<\/p>\n
