ORS is pleased to announce that the Other Support Tool for Penn researchers is live and available for use.  This new tool is designed to assist  researchers and those who support them in accurately preparing other support documents for research sponsors by:

• Aggregating and presenting data available in Penn systems that report research
• Providing a means for researchers to add additional reportable activities to their profile for current and future use
• Allowing the researcher to manage the information and make decisions about what to report
• Producing a Word Document or fillable pdf (NSF only) version of the information in the correct sponsor format to submit.
• The system also stores contracts for outside activities if provided.

Attached is a quick fact sheet for the system (including log in information).  Additionally a brief user training is available on the ORS website here .

To directly log into the application, please go to  https://apps.research.upenn.edu/  and log in with your PennKey credentials.

Please contact Missy Peloso (epeloso@upenn.edu) if you have questions or wish to provide suggestions for future enhancements to the Other Support Tool.
