for rapid processing; if not entered, the request will automatically

Type of Access, this should be Principal Investigators and Staff
Desired password (8 characters – 7 must be alphabetic, 1 must
be numeric)

If the information is accepted you will return to a site “Research Foundation Web site Registration.” At this point you need to log in to the RF Web site www.rfsuny.org using your portal user name and password and will have access to the PI Portal and PIAI. NOTE: The user name and password you currently use to access the PIAI are separate from your new portal user name and password and will not change after the portal rolls out.
