First, you need to register via the RC Core PPMS instance at https://ppms.us/harvard-hms/vdoc/?pf=11&docid=30&cont=on. If you need an HMS ID, the RC Core will assist with this process. Follow these detailed instructions on how to create your account with the PPMS system
If you are not a student or faculty at Harvard, the RC Core will need to complete the Harvard Sponsored Role process as described in our HSR policy. We might need to ask you for additional information to complete this process.
After your PPMS account is created you will need to attest to all RC Core policies.
Before we can set up your O2 account, your lab must have a purchase order set up for the group.
Also, you and your PI will be required to sign the HMS RC Core user agreement.
The PI from your lab must also be registered in PPMS and attest to all RC Core policies. Note that adding a new lab/PI and setting up financially to pay with a PO can take time. If your lab is located at a Harvard University school, we will require a Harvard 33-digit billing code.
After we have completed the setup process and you have completed all steps, the RC Core will coordinate the creation of your O2 account.
