About the Course
The course will cover approaches for managing the duties of a principal investigator. Topics will include collaborative platforms, building a program culture, navigating relationships with collaborators, sponsors and administrative staff, dealing with the public, media training, time management and more. This class is meant to provide context for some discussion on some very specific aspects of the day-to-day challenges that faculty face and how we attempt to deal with them.
