8.13 Co-Investigators

Co-investigators (CoIs) can be added in APT as necessary in Phase I; once a program is approved (Phase II), a CoI can only be added with prior approval (see Section 10.2). By default, APT will provide one blank CoI template. Please add other CoIs or delete as necessary. There is a limit of 99 CoIs on any proposal. For each CoI, enter the name and select the correct person from the list of database matches. As for PIs, new investigators or address updates should be submitted via ProPer. For U.S. CoIs (see Section 12.2), the institutional affiliation is defined as the institution that will receive funding if the proposal is approved.

If a proposal has a non-U.S. PI and one or more U.S. CoIs, then you must mark the ‘Admin US PI’ box for one of the U.S. CoIs. This indicates which U.S. CoI will be the Administrative PI for overseeing the grant funding for U.S. investigators (see Chapter 12).
