There are some calls which allow postdoctoral level ECRs to be PI or CoI. In these cases the University's 'Policy on staff groups seeking to engage with research activities' needs to be followed. Any grade 6 PDRA/Research Associate that wishes to apply for non-Fellowship research grants will need approval from the Head of Department and PVC-R. This should be sought at least 2 weeks before the funder deadline. The usual internal approvals that we go through are needed in addition to this, and Research Support can guide you through these.
