When justifying personnel costs, it is important to provide detailed descriptions of each team member's role and their contributions to the project. For instance:
- Principal Investigator (PI): Responsible for overseeing the project, ensuring milestones are met, and managing the budget. The PI may dedicate 25% of their time to the project.
- Postdoctoral Researchers: Conduct experiments, analyze data, and co-author publications. Justification should specify the number of postdocs needed and their time commitment.
- Technicians: Operate and maintain specialized equipment. Their justification should include their expertise and the specific equipment they will handle.
