    Tip
    titleTip

    If your principal investigator is not listed, you may have searched too narrowly (that is, you may have provided too much information about the person). If the list of results is very long and contains many names that are similar to the one you are searching for, you can narrow your search by providing more information. Refer to the Step below for instructions.

  4. If your investigator was not listed, modify your search as follows:
    • To broaden your search so that more names are listed in the search results, delete one or more of your criteria. For example, if you searched by both first and last names in your original search, you may want to search by last name alone.
      - or -
    • To narrow your search so that fewer names are listed in the search results, provide more information about your investigator. For example, if you searched by last name only in your original search, you may want to search by first name as well.
