PI Eligibility Policy

Principal Investigators (PIs) on research grants must have a faculty appointment or other eligible academic/research appointment at the Harvard Chan School. The PI Eligibility Policy (new as of summer 2023) articulates the School’s policy on appointees’ eligibility to serve as PI on grants submitted through the School. Details on the PI Eligibility Policy, eligible and waiver-required appointment types, and waiver process are found on the ORSD website. For questions about the policy or eligibility status, please contact pieligibility@hsph.harvard.edu.
