The Principal Investigator (PI) is the project leader and is accountable for the successful initiation, management and delivery of the products and outcomes as indicated in the project proposal.
A PI’s main role includes undertaking project leadership and management, project planning and risk management, project reporting, and ensuring quality of data and research.
Below are the PIs leading GCP projects by year.
Profiles: meet some of our researchers (current and previous) on the GCP blog.
