Workday enhancement coming soon for Grant Principal Investigator role assignments

A recent update by Workday enables WSU to assign roles on grants that can persist through position changes without disappearing from reports when employees leave WSU.

This update enables the creation of a non-position based principal investigator role that may be assigned to a Grant Principal Investigator on grant worktags, regardless of their WSU position, providing greater consistency in role assignments for grants management.

This Workday update also enables reporting on all the eligible investigators in the system, increasing efficiency in managing and evaluating eligible role assignees.

Modernization anticipates having all position-based grant principal investigator role assignments converted to the non-position based role before September 20. This change will greatly reduce the time needed to update grant investigator assignments due to promotions and position changes by WSU employees.

Please contact Modernization via the Workday Service Desk with any questions.
