eCD Roles

eCD Discloser

All benefits-eligible employees are automatically assigned an eCD Discloser role. This allows you to file your annual disclosures and update your disclosures through the year. In addition, non-benefit eligible employees may be given a Discloser role if their responsibilities to Northeastern require disclosure of actual or potential conflicts of interest or commitments, for example, if they are responsible for the design, conduct or reporting of research or sponsored program activities or designated by a UCO. You may also request an eCD Disclosure role by contacting the NU-RES Help Center.
