PI Responsibilities

As a recipient of grant and contract awards from both U.S. government (USG) and other funding agencies, the University is required to comply with numerous rules and regulations promulgated by those funding agencies. See Financial Management for the PI’s stewardship responsibilities as related to financial oversight of grants and contracts.

The PI has similar responsibilities for subawards. To assist with these compliance duties, the PI should make use of the University’s Research Compliance and Administration System (RASCAL), which allows tracking of grant/contract information throughout the lifespan of an award, including the pre-award and post-award phases.
