Worked examples
- Is an instance
A PI listed in CRediT as 'Funding acquisition: lead' with two co-investigators as 'Funding acquisition: supporting'
Counter-examples
Looks similar, but isn't
- Not an instance
Listing every author with 'Funding acquisition: equal' when only one wrote and led the grant is not a faithful CRediT application
Editorial commentary
The lead/supporting qualifier — applicable across all CRediT roles — was formalised in the NISO CRediT standard (ANSI/NISO Z39.104-2022). For funding acquisition specifically, the lead is the person whose name is on the grant award; supporting contributors are those who wrote sections or held supporting investigator roles.
