GMAS Release 1_34

Project Nicknames

Users can now add project nicknames per project segment.

Nicknames can be added, deleted, and modified from the segment homepage.

The nickname will appear:

  • On the segment homepage
  • In the project snapshot on the project and segment homepages
  • On the PI dashboard in the Required Signatures, Active Projects, Pending Projects, and Interfaculty Involvement sections
  • Users can search using the project nickname from the GMAS homepage, the segment search, and the advanced search

Currently, the following users can add, delete, and modify project nicknames:

  • Department Administrator
  • Mentor
  • Principal Investigator
  • Lab Administrator

The character limit for project nickname is 40 characters.

Conflict of Interest (COI) 

  • The “Investigator Question” (Is this member responsible for the design, conduct or reporting of the proposed research?) will now be displayed on all HMS projects.
  • On HSPH projects, research team members indicated as key personnel will no longer receive the COI approval on non-PHS+ requests (unless the research team member is required to disclose under the University Policy)
  • Within the University Area and HSPH, COI disclosures on non-PHS+ projects will no longer require review before award setup.  COI approval statuses on these projects will default to "No interests", “Disclosure on file”, or “No disclosure”, and will never have a “Needs Review” status.
  • Research team members, who do not have a HUID and do have a COI approval, will now have their COI approval status default to “Check status”.
