03. Workshops/Courses/Training
1. Principal Investigator Award Interface (PIAI) Training Session
The Research Foundation has successfully completed upgrading the current version of the Oracle Business System from 11.0.3 to the new 11i version. This was necessary since Oracle no longer supports the version used by the RF. The new version was implemented on May 1, 2007. Oracle is now viewed primarily as a transaction processing system for the administrative departments that handle your financial transactions.
As PIAI is considered a superior and more user friendly information interface for inquiry only access, we are offering training to Project Directors and their assistants to familiarize them with this application. The 90-minute PIAI training session will take place on Thursday, August 30th at 9:00 a.m. in the OVPR Conference Room, W5510 Melville Library.
To register please send an email to Marie Bilbao in the Office of Grants Management at marie.bilbao@stonybrook.edu
