Who Can Submit Through the PDO? Any NCSA employee may submit either a single PI or collaborative project through the PDO.
NCSA Affiliates may also submit if they meet one or more of the following criteria:
Collaborating with NCSA staff as CoPIs.
Submitting a large (>$1million) or multidisciplinary project (involving 2+ campus units) aligned with NCSA’s mission and conducted in part within the institute;
Submitting a project under affiliated Centers with existing MOUs and aligned with that Center’s mission.
Still not sure? Work through this decision tree.
Note: if you can't get to "yes" in the decision tree, then your proposal may not be eligible for PDO support. Still feel free to email us about your options though.
