PI Orientation Video Series

The PI Orientation Video series is an online course designed to introduce University of Arizona Principal Investigators (PI) to:

  • the fundamentals of research administration and grants management at UA;
  • the roles and responsibilities that come with being a PI; and
  • the resources and offices available across the university to support PIs in fulfilling their administrative responsibilities as efficiently as possible.

The primary intended audience are faculty new to UA and to the PI role, but we hope established faculty, staff, advanced grad students, and postdocs will find it useful as well.
