P.I.’s responsibilities
Upon acceptance of an award, the P.I. assumes primary responsibility for the technical conduct and management of the project to assure that contractual conditions are met and to make certain that the program stays within its budget.
The P.I., the department chairperson, and the Vice President for Academic Affairs are expected to exercise responsible judgment in the administration of the project, particularly with regard to the terms of the agreement and University policies. In particular, financial liabilities which result from failure to comply with the grant or contract become the responsibility of the P.I., department chairman and University.
