Any student researcher who does not have a current employment relationship with the University (i.e. has an听补肠迟颈惫别听employee ID number) must obtain a Person of Interest (POI) number. The POI number allows the student to access eRA, the electronic research administration system that the IRB uses to review and approve human research. Students who have an听补肠迟颈惫别听employee ID number听do not听need a POI number.听Their employee ID provides the sufficient privileges.听

Before requesting a POI, the student should attempt to login to听eRA听with his or her CU Identikey, password and select Boulder for the campus.听If access is denied due to the lack of profile setup, the student needs a POI number. If a POI number had previously been issued, and the student no longer has access to eRA, it is likely that the students profile has expired, and the POI number must be re-activated.听听

POIs are issued by a department's Personnel Payroll Liaison (PPL). It is important that the PPL is the first contact for a POI request; however, if a PPL is unable to create a POI, contact the eRA Helpdesk at听eRAHelp@colorado.edu.

In order to create a new POI number, the eRA Helpdesk will need the following information:

  • Full Name
  • Email (CU email is preferred)
  • Preferred Phone Number
  • Date of Birth
  • Department听
  • A POI Sponsor(such as a Faculty Advisor or Supervisor who may receive system notifications about your profile)

If a POI has expired and a renewal is needed to听access to eRA, the following information will be required:

  • Full Name
  • Employee ID Number
  • Department
  • A POI Sponsor (such as a Faculty Advisor or Supervisor who may receive system notifications about your profile)

Information for Department PPLs

  2. For eRA access, use the HCM POI Designation of听鈥�00032 - Electronic Research Admin鈥澨�

Important Notes

  • The POI should be set to expire at least听3 years听from the date of creation to prevent early termination of access.
  • The active date for the appointment should be the current date.听eRA references HRMS for new appointments every evening but the check will only pick up new appointments that were created that day;听retroactive appointments will not trigger eRA account creation.听
