PI Dashboard
The Office of the Vice Provost for Research has partnered with GW's Business Intelligence Services to provide principal investigators (PIs) with powerful online tools to access personalized award information. The research community can use these tools to make more informed project decisions by viewing financial and human resources information about awards at summarized and detailed levels.
When logging into Tableau Cloud, type in your complete GW email address (e.g., [email protected]). Note: Use your full email address, not your GWID.
If you do not have access to PI Dashboard, see below for instructions on requesting access.
