Some agencies allow two or more individuals to act as co-PIs.
Ordinarily, a PI must have a faculty appointment at Wellesley during the period of the funded project. A faculty member holding a temporary appointment may apply for a grant with the understanding that the College's commitment to house the research will expire along with his or her contract, and the grant will need to be transferred to the PI's new institution. B. Collaboration with Colleagues at Other Institutions Faculty who apply for funding with colleagues at other institutions will normally have to choose whether to submit the proposal through Wellesley or through their collaborator's institution, ordinarily on the basis of where the majority of the project will take place. The two most common scenarios are described below. Any faculty member planning to prepare a proposal with a colleague should consult with the Director of Sponsored Research as early as possible.
