## PI Dashboard

A new PI dashboard includes high-level GMAS information for each Principal Investigator (PI) such as:

- Current projects, remaining funds, and projected spending.
- Direct links to accounts, reports, subagreements, documents, action memos, and approvals.
- Pending (yet to be submitted) proposals, as well as submitted proposals awaiting sponsor notices.
