The
Principal Investigator must be a faculty member currently teaching in one of
the S-STEM disciplines who can provide the leadership required to ensure the
success of the project. Projects involving more than one department within an
institution are eligible, but a single Principal Investigator must accept
overall management responsibility. Other members of the S-STEM project
management team may be listed as Co-Principal Investigators.
Limit on Number of Proposals per
Organization:
An
institution may submit one proposal from each constituent college or school
that awards eligible degrees. (For example, a university with a College of
Engineering, a School of Life Sciences, and a College of Arts and Sciences
could submit one proposal from each for a total of three. However, within a
College of Engineering, if the Department of Electrical Engineering were
submitting a proposal, a proposal from the Department of Mechanical Engineering
could be submitted only in a subsequent year. The two departments could also
submit a proposal jointly.)
