Why do we need to identify Principal Investigators?

Show full volume of research

• Current research environments and networks do not fully conform with departmental and faculty structures.

Identify full affiliated research staff

• The person responsible for a research proposal and its practical implementation may not be employed by the university

Page 6: Progress Report for EuroCRIS: Identifying Principal Investigators for CRIS

Principal Investigators in strategic planning and research management

• Will improve the creation of a research profile at the unit, network and University levels,

• Will promote both the setting of research objectives and operations management,

• Will empower the persons designated as principal investigators and clarify their role at the University regardless of their source of funding and

• Will enhance the conditions for communications and research administration.

A principal investigator at the University of Helsinki is typically a person who

• Steers and leads research independently• Has completed an applicable doctoral degree and is qualified as an

independent researcher• Has access to the necessary resources (facilities, funding, equipment)

for independent research• Supervises doctoral students and/or mentors post-doctoral researchers

as well as (in applicable research fields) leads a research group, and • Is placed on the third or fourth level in the hierarchy of research

positions. (1 Graduate Student, 2 Post-graduate Student, 3 Senior Scientist, 4 Professor)

• NOTE: – The principal investigator need not be employed by the University of

Helsinki. – In relevant fields of research, the principal investigator can also be an

independent researcher without a research group.

Identification process

• First round based on Rector’s decision 5/2009– All Faculties identify Principal

Investigators by 11/2009

– Rector’s preliminary definition can be modified by Faculty/Department

– Re-evaluation every four years

• Onwards: – Status applied through CRIS

– Application by a wanna-be-Principal Investigator, can have multiple departments

– Approved by one department director

– Re-evaluation every four years

Rights and obligations of a principal investigator• Recognised status and a high profile in the academic

community. • Responsibility to design research projects, to achieve project

objectives and to promote the application of research results. • Responsibility to fulfill administrative and financial obligations. • Teaching related to the research work for 5% of the annual

workload without separate compensation (PI on UH salary paid from research grant)

• Participation in the management of collective University affairs (for example, review applications for University research funding)
