OVERVIEW OF PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR AND DEPARMENTAL ADMINISTRATOR ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

The purpose of this Handbook is to facilitate the work of PIs and administrative staff by providing in a single document a comprehensive reference guide covering the entire spectrum of activities associated with sponsored projects - from obtaining funding to closing out expired awards.

While sponsored projects are awarded to the University, the actual management of those projects rests with each PI and the support provided by his/her department.
