The NIH Ethics Management Information System (EMIS) is a web-based relational database developed by the staff of the NIH Ethics Office. The system is based on an employee, with all ethics forms and requests, including: financial disclosure, outside activities, awards, honorary degrees, official duty activities with outside organizations, widely attended gatherings, recusals, waivers, authorizations, ethics training, new employee ethics orientation, sponsored travel, advice, collaborative research agreements, and other ethics actions. Access is limited to NIH ethics staff with appropriate login and password protections.
You may also review the user manuals. Below are links for the Acrobat
pdf printable
versions of the manual. The links within the manuals do not link to the
protected EMIS system but rather between the documents. The html versions
are accessible via the EMIS
Help Menu, intended for use while working with EMIS, and again linked only between the documents.

The EMIS Data Dictionary provides details on each field for each form, including options in the drop down menus, definitions of the options, and examples of entries.
Interested agencies may contact the NIH Ethics Office staff for more information or to make an appointment to view the system.
