8.12 Principal Investigator

Enter the name (last name first) and e-mail address of the PI. Please use standard ASCII. There can be only one PI per proposal. Entering the first few letters (at least two) and pressing enter or tab will bring up a window containing a list of matches from our proposer database. Clicking on your entry will populate the APT form with the information. If you are not in the database, click on "New Entry" and enter the information. Choose the correct institutional affiliation. For U.S. PIs (see Section 12.2), the institutional affiliation is defined as the institution that will receive funding if the proposal is approved. If you are in the database, but the address information is incorrect, do not click on "New Entry." Instead, select your entry in the list and click on "OK." Your information will be entered into the form editor where you can update it. Please mark the appropriate box for PIs with an institutional affiliation in an ESA member country.

For Large and Treasury programs, we will be contacting each proposer within 1-2 weeks of the submission deadline to verify our understanding of the appropriate scheduling constraints. If a Co-Investigator is to serve as the contact for this verification, then the Contact Keyword box should be set accordingly. Only one person may be designated as the Contact.
