If a grant is submitted and doesn't get funded in your name, you walk away with experience from the process and whatever scores you earned. It's in the record, and you can share it as evidence that you can write a competitive application (assuming it is). If your PI submits the grant in his or her name, its officially his or her grant and you have to trust that he or she will admit your role in the proposal development.
If your PI submits either of your applications, are you formally included in some capacity (e.g. as a co-investigator)?
Craig,
Thanks for the suggestion. We are submitting 2 R01s (let's say A and B), and I was offered to be the PI of A. If I accept the deal, he would be the co-investigator on A. If I doe not accept the deal, I will be the co-investigator on both A and B, and he will transfer A to me if everything works 'perfectly'.
He probably will not allow me to submit either of them as a K99 because he wants to submit them this June, when the idea is still hot. I am not ready for K99 application because my original plan is a submission this October.
My current plan is to submit both R01s as a co-investigator, which will not affect my K99 application or new investigator status. Then, I can focus on developing my another project into a K99 proposal and pull all the things together (co-mentor, career plan, more papers, etc). Since this is my 2nd year, I still have some time to do this.
OMG, I have to say, academia is such a rough road.
