Summary. A survey of 188 NLN‐accredited graduate nursing programs was done to determine how the research roles of principal investigator (PI), co‐principal investigator (Co‐PI) and co‐investigator (Co‐I) are supported and to examine the similarities and differences in benefits for Pis, Co‐PIs and Co‐Is. Most schools did not provide salary supplementation in addition to the usual salary for any investigators. For other benefits, the PI was more likely than was the Co‐PI or Co‐I to receive direct access to indirect cost recovery dollars, the use of extra research assistants, and the reduction of teaching time commensurate with the time supported by their grant. If the team approach is truly valued, should not all investigators be rewarded in a like manner?
