In May, Leslie led an internal team of RAs conducted testing and analysis using the newly launched PIP projection tool with a carefully outlined work plan and testing methodology to fully test the functionality of the projection tool; make recommendation to the RA Managers and RA community on how best to utilize the enhanced functionality in making projections for faculty research awards; Identify any pain points in the PIP functionality that prohibit the RAs from fully utilizing the tool in making projections. Work group members met every other week, despite of their own busy work schedules, diligently conducted testing and analysis following the prescribed methodology using PIP and BAIRS reporting tool. In late July the team presented their summary findings to the RA Managers and will present their finding/recommendation in the August RA Roundtable presentation.
