The Disclosure Process Overview

We’ve received several questions about how to link research to disclosures, so here’s a short overview of the process. To satisfy the new SFI disclosure requirements:

eGC1 owners
1. Click the “Send Disclosure Notifications” button on the PI & Personnel page of an eGC1 to let all investigators know that they are required to complete a disclosure.  After SAGE sends the notification, investigators can create a disclosure which will be linked to the eGC1. The notification will only be sent once to each investigator.

Investigators
2. Open the notification email from fidshelp@uw.edu with an “Action Required” subject line and click the link to the FIDS homepage.
3. Log into FIDS with your UW NetID.
4. On the SFI Profile page scroll down to the Disclosure section, and click the “Complete Disclosure button” for the appropriate eGC1.
5. Walk through system-prompted steps to disclose whether or not you have SFI.

Tip for investigators:Clicking the “Complete Disclosure” button is the only way to link your SFI to your research. To update an older SFI, click the Add/Edit SFI link.
