PEER core institutions feature a wide array of experimental facilities as listed in PEER Laboratories website. We are soliciting proposals for one-to-two-year projects related to the experimental investigation of components, structures and systems exposed to seismic, tsunami, fire and other natural hazards. The proposed projects must use an experimental facility at a PEER core institution.

Question 1: A PEER proposal will be submitted by my PI before the deadline today 11:59PM and the proposal requires 2 signatures, the PI's and the organizational representative. Is the organizational representative the RA that assisted the PI on putting the proposal together or is it a reviewer from PEER that will go over the proposal and sign it if it's a successful selection?

Answer: The organizational representative is the RA that assisted the PI in putting together the budget. In case of non-availability of the RA just before the deadline, we will accept the proposal with the name of the RA before the deadline, followed by a signature of the budget page submitted the following week.
