Multiple PI

SAGE How To

Designating Multiple PIs on the eGC1

• Identify the UW Contact PI as the "Principal Investigator" on the eGC1
• List all multiple PIs on the Personnel page of the eGC1 and choose "Multiple PI" from the drop down list

All Multiple PIs must provide "PI Assurance" for the application*. The Contact PI will do this using the existing functionality on the eGC1. For all other PIs, one of the following must be done in order to meet UW and sponsor requirements.

1. Open the Multiple PI Assurance Statement (PDF)
   Print the document, write in the PI's name & eGC1#.
   Have PI sign the document, then scan it and attach it to the eGC1 as an "OSP Document" using the new File Upload functionality.
   
   OR
   
   
2. Once the application is in routing, use the "Add Approver" button located above the approval graph to add the Multiple PI(s) to the approval process. Add them at the same position on the approval chart as their department or division. This PI will need to copy and paste the PI Assurance text into the comment field and then click the Approve button. This will provide the required assurances.

*This functionality has not been built into SAGE at this time, therefore a workaround process has been created that is easiest for campus units & OSP. While the process is not ideal, it does meet the UW compliance needs and keeps the documentation as a set with the eGC1.
