  • The ASU Office of Research Administration also lists postdoctoral fellows/appointees as NOT eligible to serve as the sole, primary PI on an externally sponsored project.  Postdocs my serve as Co-PI or key personnel with a lead PI who meets all eligibility requirements.  This is written in the Research Personnel PI Eligibility guidelines.
