When the Ball Drops: Effective Communication between RA & PI

Have you ever found yourself in this situation? The Principal Investigator (PI) assumes the Research Administrator (RA) is monitoring the grant budget and proactively processing salary paperwork. Meanwhile, the RA is waiting for the PI to provide salary specifics, knowing that budgets can shift. Months pass, and when effort reporting is due, the PI is surprised to find no salary charged to the grant. Each believes the other was responsible. Join us for a deep-dive discussion into real-world scenarios like this one. We'll explore how to navigate unclear roles, prevent communication breakdowns, and share best practices to avoid hard conversations before they happen.
