Research & Related Senior/Key Person Profile (Project)
- For this FOA, only one Lead may be designated on the application for a Project. Multiple Project Leads are not permitted.
- In general, each individual project in a program project grant should have a different project leader.

In no case may one individual serve as project leader on more than two projects. Each funded program project grant must have a minimum of three individual project leaders.

- If more than 100 Senior/Key persons are included in a component, the Additional Senior Key Person attachments should be used.
All other aspects of PAR-13-316 remain unchanged.
