On Monday, May 3, 2021, we encountered a system error which affected our end of day business processing and consequently checks could not be printed.  We are working to resolve the issue and will post an updated announcement when the RCUH Financial Portal is back in operation. At this time, online purchasing, payment, and travel transactions cannot be approved until the issue is resolved. 

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience.

As RCUH prepares our path for the next five years, we want to ensure that our vision is aligned with the researchers we serve. Please share your feedback on RCUH’s services by completing a brief survey of 12-13 questions. This survey should only take 7 minutes and will make an impact as to how RCUH allocates our resources and adjusts our goals moving forward.

Please submit your feedback by Friday, April 16, 2021. Mahalo.

Academic espionage. Intellectual property theft. While these may sound similar to themes from a spy film, foreign governments have been seeking to influence, interfere, and, in some cases, steal research from American universities for many years.

Although most foreign students, researchers, or professors are studying or working in the U.S. for legitimate reasons, it is important for researchers to be aware of the ongoing threat of foreign intrusion into academia. Join us at RCUH’s annual forum “Foreign Intrusion into Academic Research & Training” on Thursday, April 29, 2021 at 9:00 a.m. Learn how and why U.S. adversaries are infiltrating our research community with speakers from the:

• Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA)
• Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS)
• University of Hawai’i
