In the "Narrative Description of Qualifications" the instructions say to provide: "metrics of progress to be used in evaluating personnel involved in the project." Are these metrics to be those for GoMRI to use to evaluate personnel involved or those for the PI to use to evaluate personnel?

The intent of the requested 'metrics of progress to be used in evaluation personnel involved in the project' is to guide internal management of the research project, led by the PI. If appropriate, the metrics described in the proposal could also be used by the GoMRI Research Board in evaluation of the research project.

While putting the RFP II proposal together, I noticed that the references need to be in the format used for the journal Science. We have three pages of references, most of which are journal articles with two or more authors. Surprisingly, such references need to have the full name of the authors per the Science instructions. Before we dedicate the time needed to doing this, I wanted to confirm that this is essential to the proposal process.

The Project Description (Section 4) should be less than 15 pages. This includes 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, and 4e. In the RFP-II Instructions document it is stated “the suggested page ranges provided below are acceptable ranges for each element of the Project Description…" However, there are no suggested page ranges in the document. Are there any guidelines on the number of pages for each sub-section within Section 4?

We have a no-cost collaborating RFP-I Consortium Director involved in our proposed project. However, we would like to use a Research Associate from the consortium director's institution for field research at their location. Can we include a subcontract to this institution just for costs of the RA salary and supplies, while the director remains as a collaborator at no cost? Or is it unallowable for any/all costs to go to the collaborating Consortium Director's institution?

If I am a PI or co-PI for RFP-I or RFP-III, do these count against the total of three possible RFP-II proposals? In other words, if I am already a GoMRI-funded investigator, can I still propose to participate in three RFP-II projects?
