Effective January 25, 2018, NIH will require the use of Forms E packages for all grant submissions. Most significant is the new Human Subjects and Clinical Trials form required for all submissions, including human subjects in their study plan.

The Weill Research Gateway (WRG) was recently upgraded to include enhancements to our Sponsored Programs (SP) module. You’ll notice some minor changes to forms in the proposal, such as the Universal Questionnaire or the MTA Questionnaire, as well as additional questions added to our Forms E package. These were made to comply with regulations made by the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

You’ll also notice other changes, such as:

ITS has just released its FY2016-2017 Annual Report. An electronic copy is available on our website. 

In the full report, you will find ITS’ progress from the past fiscal year, our goals for the next year, upcoming projects, and key statistics on our operations. Additionally, we have included an appendix with POIS’ annual report since our departments work so closely together. 

Cornell University recently changed its contract with Adobe, which has affected our offerings on Weill Cornell Medicine’s OnTheHub website for personal software purchases. Cornell is currently working with Adobe on new terms and is hoping to have a resolution soon.
