Principal Investigator (PI) training
A PI training session was held Monday, October 17, 2011, 9 am-noon, Byker Auditorium (Chemistry Bldg). Contact Carmen Fike if you are interested in attending a future session.

MSU’s research focus continues to grow in both dollar amounts and national reputation. The PI Training was designed and developed as a pro active approach to ensure all investigators have the information needed to conduct their research in compliance at both the federal and state level. MSU PI Training is mandatory (one-time only) for researchers and we encourage anyone working with sponsored funding to attend.
