How to Request PI Status Prior to Faculty Start Date
The Early Start Date field has been removed from tenured and tenure-track PARs. In consultation with OSP, APS developed a short Help document to guide users in requesting PI status for a new faculty member in advance of their official start date. The complete document can be found on the APS resource page.
Step 1:
CSU initiates Contract Contingent Worker (A009) or Appoint as Academic Affiliate. (Contingent Worker must have end date that is prior to PAR start date in order for PAR to push successfully to Workday.)
Step 2:
Faculty Member must complete and submit the Financial Interest Disclosure (FID) form and acknowledge the Vice President for Research’s Researcher Responsibilities.
Step 3:
CSU can then request PI/Co-PI Status at Electronic Research Administration (ERA).
Note: The new UTRMS system is expected to launch at the end of June 2022. Any qualifying appointment types will be automatically granted PI status. Requests that are “auto-approved” will already have access enabled in the UTRMS system. Requests not auto-approved can be submitted via a ticket to the Office of Sponsored Projects for review.
