Research information system Tuhat: Add and edit content

Guidelines for reporting and using research information for the research portal, the university website, and annual research reporting.

About ORCID sync

After upgrade of Tuhat ORCID connection in researchers’ profiles shows as inactive for profiles that are connected to ORCID but  publications are synced normally to ORCID.  So the problem is only that the interface shows the connection as inactive. The software provider investigates how this can be fixed.

Apply for Principal Investigator Status

General information

A principal investigator at the University of Helsinki is typically a person who:

  • Steers and leads research independently.
  • Has completed an applicable doctoral degree and is qualified as an independent researcher.
  • Has access to the necessary resources (facilities, funding, equipment) for independent research.
  • Supervises doctoral students and/or mentors post-doctoral researchers as well as (in applicable research fields) leads a research group, and
  • Is placed on the third or fourth level in the hierarchy of research positions.

The usage of Principal investigator status varies between faculties and independent institutes. Some noted ad advantages are:

  • To target support actions (equipment funding, research program applications) and services (research group web pages)
  • To share information and create networking opportunities internally and internationally
  • To unite all UH affiliated PI's regardless of contract status with the University, e.g. University hospital researchers can apply for PI status at UH.
  • To give research-based structure to UH researcher pool.  

It has been noted that even though the preliminary idea in 2009 was to use same criteria accross faculties and independent institutes, there are discrepancies in the implementations. Currently this concept is most actively used in research group environments.
