An HSR may not be used in place for a formal appointment when individuals performing comparable roles and responsibilities would ordinarily require an official appointment.
Research Collaborator HSR
A Research Collaborator HSR is an individual who does not hold a Harvard appointment or employment but is engaged in an active research collaboration (WAIT: Web-based Agreement Identification Tool) with a Harvard-based researcher. These individuals must have a legitimate need to access Harvard research space, data, or systems for a defined period as part of their collaboration.
A faculty member with a primary appointment in an HMS pre-clinical department must sponsor Research Collaborator HSRs.
Harvard Sponsored Roles may not be used to extend access to services or resources (such as email or shared drives) for departing employees.
