Administrative Support Program
Overview
The Administrative Support Program connects Principal Investigators (PIs) with trained campus staff who can provide short-term, flexible administrative support. This program is designed to help PIs manage peak workloads, seasonal needs, or time‑sensitive administrative tasks without the need to hire additional staff.
By shifting routine administrative work to experienced support staff, the program allows PIs to focus more fully on research, projects, and academic priorities.
Available Support
Trained campus staff are available to assist with a range of common administrative needs, including:
- Travel processing
- Purchasing and reimbursements
- Hiring support
- Payroll assistance
How it Works
