Research, Interests, and Activities (RIA) provides faculty with a single location for the disclosure of outside interests and activities and a method of conducting research relatedness assessments. Additionally, the disclosures included in the tool ensure compliance with Penn policies and meet the requirements of funding agencies.
RIA has replaced both PHS-FITS and FIDES. Those applications are available as read-only for reference purposes and will not accept new disclosure information.
RIA is also being used for annual extramural reporting for Penn Dental Medicine and the Perelman School of Medicine.

This new application provides Faculty with a single location for the disclosure of outside interests and activities and a method of conducting research-relatedness assessments, thereby facilitating the obligations as required by certain funding agencies and supporting compliance with Penn policies. Specifically, this tool will help identify and manage Financial Conflicts of Interest (FCOIs) and includes FCOI training.
RIA integrates with and leverages data from existing Penn systems, including Penn Community, PennERA, HS-ERA, Inteum, and the Research Inventory System (RIS) to simplify the disclosure process.
