In summary, the question is whether the person has served as PI, PD, Co-PI, or Co-PD on any federally funded project, and if being an NSF REU fellow counts. Usually, training grants such as REU fellowships are not considered as research grants. If unsure, it is best to email the program officer for clarification."

"Are you currently serving (or have previously served) as PI, PD, Co-PI, or Co-PD on any federally funded project?"

Hey, y'all! I'm applying for a grad school fellowship, and I'm not sure how to answer this question. Would this include being an NSF REU fellow, or not? I believe not, but I want to be sure.

Thanks! :)

Usually not- training grants (REU fellowships, NIH K awards, etc) are not the same as research grants. If in doubt, simply email the program officer.
