RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR (UCOP Contracts and Grants Manual 6-440)

The Principal Investigator has primary responsibility for financial management and control of project funds in accordance with University and sponsor policies and procedures.  The campus Controller is also responsible for many of the management and control responsibilities listed in 6-430 as well as those listed in 6-440.  Some of the responsibilities are shared with others, including the Contracts and Grants Officer, Department Chair and College Dean.  However, it is the Principal Investigator who is involved in all aspects of award administration.
