Proposals may only be submitted by the following:
DLI-DDRI proposals must be submitted with a principal investigator (PI) and a co-principal investigator (co-PI). The PI must be the advisor of the doctoral student or another faculty member at the U.S. IHE where the doctoral student is enrolled. The doctoral student must be the co-PI.
There is no limitation on the number of times that a graduate advisor may be the principal investigator on a DDRI proposal submitted to the DLI-DDRI program either during a specific competition or over the course of her/his career.
However, doctoral students are limited to two DLI-DDRI submissions in the course of their graduate careers.
