##  What is the Research Administration Portal? 

The Research Administration Portal shows faculty and researchers their outstanding research administration and compliance activities and provides an overview of their portfolio. The application includes certain projects, protocols, and related tasks from [HMS-IACUC](https://esupport.hms.harvard.edu/COMSIACUC/), [COMS](https://esupport.hms.harvard.edu/COMSIACUC/), [Agreements-DUA](https://dua.harvard.edu/), [Data Safety](https://researchsafety.harvard.edu/), [ESTR](https://irb.harvard.edu/), [GMAS](https://gmas.harvard.edu/), statements from [ecrt](https://ecrt.harvard.edu/), certifications from [OAIR](https://oair.harvard.edu/), and assigned courses from the [Harvard Training Portal](https://trainingportal.harvard.edu/).

- The Home page lists outstanding tasks for the researcher.
- Additional pages list protocols and projects in review or under development, currently active, or ended within the last twelve months.
- Grant managers have the ability to access To Do items assigned to them, as well as To Do items and projects and protocols for the researchers they support.
