How Will the Revised Multiple Investigator Policy Impact My New Investigator Status?

We define a new investigator as an investigator who has not successfully competed for a significant, independent NIH research award. Therefore, if an individual with new investigator status is added as a principal investigator to an existing, active award, they will not lose their new investigator status because they did not compete for the award.
