For purposes of this solicitation, “key personnel” means all investigators regardless of status (i.e., principal investigator [PI], subaward PI, co-principal investigator [Co-PI], subaward Co-PI, co-investigator [Co-I], subaward Co-I, investigator[I], and subaward-I), senior staff (e.g., project leader/director/manager, senior technical advisor), and any other technical staff (e.g., consultants, statistician, project coordinator, research associate, data coordinator). 
• Applications involving tribal governments and/or being conducted on tribal sovereign lands must have an executed tribal resolution or executive order from the tribal authorized representative (i.e., tribal council/government) sanctioning the partnership and the project. Tribal partnerships with program staff of government agencies or programs directed and administered by tribal governments require approval from the government body. Similarly, applications involving tribally based organizations (a nongovernmental organization such as a tribal nonprofit establishment) must have a letter of commitment from the tribal organization’s authorized legal representative (i.e., administrator, executive director) authorizing the partnership and the project.
