Penn Knowledge Link for University and UPHS Dual Users

Description

Penn Knowledge Link is used by the University of Pennsylvania Health System (UPHS) for training and learning requirements.

University and Health System faculty, staff, postdoctoral trainees, and other affiliates who work in both Penn and UPHS environments may need access to both Workday Learning and Knowledge Link. These users, often referred to as dual affiliates, can access both systems through the Knowledge Link login portal.

Postdoctoral trainees who are dual affiliates should follow school, department, laboratory, clinical, or UPHS guidance to confirm which training system applies to their required training.

For access to Knowledge Link and dual-affiliate training resources, visit the Knowledge Link login page.

How should I handle postdoc Research Records?

Primary research records created by postdocs during the tenure of their training at the University of Pennsylvania are the property of the University and are retained by the University when the postdoc leaves. If a postdoc obtains written permission from their mentor, they may retain a copy of such records as agreed upon by the mentor and the postdoc. Exceptions to this practice may be granted, subject to written prior approval of the Provost’s Office, in fields where it can be convincingly demonstrated that there is a well-established practice that individual scholars retain ownership of data generated through their research efforts. In such cases the postdocs may be permitted to retain notes and records associated with their research and publish their findings subsequent to leaving the University, provided an appropriate acknowledgement is made of the University’s contribution to the work (e.g., in the form of funding).
