• Help to ensure that any Reporting Individuals who submit Other Support (OS) documents for submissions on or after 1/25/22 have completed the Harvard Training Portal course, “Disclosing Other Support: Guidance for Faculty & Key Personnel” prior to submitting. NOTE: Any HMS Reporting Individuals submitting Other Support documents as part of an RPPR or JIT submission after 1/25/22 MUST have completed the course before ORA can submit the OS.
• Share the instructions “How to Electronically Sign a PDF” (OVPR webpage) to any Reporting Individuals using the new Other Support form. Harvard is required to retain a certified version of the signed Other Support document, so it is vital that reporting individuals are following proper instructions for electronic signature.
