Pre-Approval Requests (PAR)

Pre-Approval Request

A pre-approval request allows you to submit a request to participate in certain outside activities (such as board service, outside academic appointment, expert witness etc.), which is then reviewed by the appropriate individual before making a determination.

The pre-approval request is pro-active in nature, wherein you create requests in COI system before you participate in those activities. The pre-approval request is then sent for review by the appropriate reviewers, determined by WVU in COI Settings. Based on the details of the pre-approval request submitted, the reviewer makes an appropriate determination.

Pre-Approval Request Process

When you submit a pre-approval request, you will be notified if it is approved or disapproved. The approved pre-approval requests appear on the Approved requests section in your disclosure profile. Once you complete the activity mentioned in this pre-approval request, you can click the Mark Complete button. The pre-approval requests marked as completed will be removed from the Approved requests section in your disclosure profile when your disclosure profile update is completed.

The 'Mark Complete' button is available for requests, with a note explaining that requests marked as complete will be removed after the profile update is finalized.

These requests are still available for reference in the Disclosure Profile workspace, under the Pre-Approval Requests tab.
