PI: Roles and Responsibilities

The PI will meet with the Grants Account, Office of Business and Financial Affairs, to verify the correct allocation of budget and budget categories as approved by the granting agency.
Notify the OSP and the Grants Account, Office of Business and Financial Affairs, of any subcontracts.
Contact the OSP if requesting changes in budget line items.
In the event an award has multiple PIs, designation of a single PI with financial and program oversight is required. The designated PI will be responsible for overall financial and program management, including submission of agency required progress reports, no-cost extensions (NCE's), time and effort reporting, and other compliance requirements. Notify the OSP of the name and contact information of the designated PI.
The PI will provide to the Grants Account, Office of Business and Financial Affairs, a list of personnel to be charged to the grant.
