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.
