The PLACER PFA recommends a dual-PI arrangement for this PFA where one PI is based at the data coordinating center; a strong justification is required for any alternative to this arrangement. Given the size, complexity, and anticipated risks of the research sought by PCORI under PLACER, it is unlikely that a stakeholder can meet the necessary requirements of a dual-PI. Applicants should consider whether important stakeholder leadership and input can be achieved through other organizational and management arrangements.
Will the multiple PI structure be the same for this mechanism as it has been for PCORI’s prior science PFAs? Can a stakeholder (still) serve as a co-PI?
