March 2013

  • New Action Items section: Investigators can easily see what they need to do next in the new Action Items section on the FIDS Profile page. This section lists investigators’ pending disclosures and easily allows the creation of new ones.
  • SFI Updates: When an existing Significant Financial Interest (SFI) is updated or deleted, any related disclosure which has not yet reached the Review Complete or No Review Required status will reflect the changes.
    • The Institutional Official will review the most current SFI and disclosures which have deleted SFI.
    • A new section in the disclosure will display information about the deleted SFI.
  • Edit Disclosures: Investigators can now edit any disclosure that is not in Review Complete or No Review Required status. This means related research activities can be selected/deselected, and on disclosures for non-Public Health Service (PHS) sponsored eGC1s, and Center for Commercialization (C4C) and Human Subjects Division (HSD) activities, SFI can be selected or deselected.
  • FCOI displayed: The Institutional Official can check a box to indicate which SFI in a disclosure are financial conflicts of interest (FCOI). Investigators will be able to view but not change this indication.
  • Later review: The determination of whether a review is required for primary eGC1 disclosures with no SFI will occur as part of the Just in Time (JIT) process instead of when the disclosure is submitted.
  • New history section: Changes in status and SFI now display in a new History section on the Disclosure Summary page and on a page the Institutional Official views.
  • Concurrency: When multiple people are editing a disclosure, only the first person to save their changes will be able to save. Subsequent users will not be able to save their updates until the page is refreshed and displays the first person’s changes.
  • Review Statuses displayed: The Disclosures section on the Profile page will now display the Review Statuses of each disclosure: Review Required, Waiting for JIT, No Review Required, Duplicate, or Review Complete.
  • Related Sponsored Research Projects: By default, only the primary eGC1 will be selected in the Related Sponsored Research Projects section of a disclosure. You will have to manually select other eGC1s that are related to the disclosure.

This section will display for all disclosures, as shown in the following image.

related sponsored research projects section

If you need to indicate related sponsored research, click on the checkbox to expand this section and display a list of your current projects. If this disclosure has a primary eGC1, the system will automatically select its check box.

The following image shows the expanded section.

The list includes the eGC1’s number and title, your role, and the current status of the eGC1.

Use the check boxes to indicate any of your other research activities that you believe pertain to this disclosure.

Note: The SFI reviewers will also review each additional eGC1 you select. Therefore your disclosure may require additional processing time.

November 2012

  • In the Related Activities section, there is no longer a Select All link, and there is a new checkbox for investigators that causes the Related Activities section to display.
  • New functionality for creating new disclosures
    • A “Create new disclosure” button displays whenever there is not a pending disclosure.
    • Investigators will now select why they are creating the disclosure.
    • Investigators can create their own pending disclosure for an eGC1, without having to wait for the disclosure notification to be sent from the eGC1.
    • Investigators can create disclosures for the Human Subjects Division (HSD) and the Center for Commercialization (C4C).
    • An email message will be sent to C4C when a disclosure has been created asking C4C to forward the license agreement.
    • The disclosure now shows HSD and C4C details.
  • When investigators are removed from an eGC1, any pending disclosures will be deleted. If they completed a disclosure, then the primary eGC1 will be removed.
  • A pending disclosure is automatically created when investigators add themselves to an eGC1.
