*Collaborate ~ Communicate ~ Connect*





Please join *Research Administrators INC* to view Society of Research
Administrators International’s pre-recorded presentation entitled, "*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.
