Key Personnel and Credit Split

• This function of WVU+kc is only available to staff of the Office of Sponsored Programs.

For every sponsored award, there is at least one Principal Investigator who accepts primary responsibility for the conduct of the project. There may also be Co-Investigators who share scientific leadership. The persons indicated as PIs and Co-Is on the Contacts page will populate in the Investigators section of the electronic Green Sheet for this award.

Additional individuals may also be assigned as key personnel and will assist with carrying out the duties of the project. Key personnel who are essential to the project execution, but do not share responsibility for the project direction are identified as Task Managers in the Task Actions section of the Award page.

• All key personnel on the Contacts page of the Institutional Proposal linked to the Award will auto-populate on the Contacts page for the Award.
