An Administrative PI is assigned to a sponsored award when a Project PI has a conflict of interest or in other scenarios where it is necessary to have another PI review submissions, reports, or fiscal management.
In Workday, the Administrative PI is assigned as “PI” to ensure all Workday approvals will flow to that individual for review. Because the Administrative PI is assigned as the PI in Workday, the Administrative PI will also be assigned as the “Certifier” for Project Statements in ECC.
The Effort Coordinator may use the “designee” function in ECC to assign the certification of a Project Statement(s) from the Administrative PI to the Project PI.

A note should be added to all applicable Project Statements to the following effect:
“Certification of this statement was assigned to the Project PI [NAME] from the Administrative PI [NAME].”
