Research Collaboration Platform: Create Your Profile
Action
Once you have logged into the Health Disparities Collaboration Platform, you can create a personal profile. This will allow you to participate on the site and help other researchers find information about you to facilitate collaboration.Â
This article is only for individuals invited to a Research Collaboration Platform community site.
Instructions
- If you have not yet created a profile, you can click the Create My Profile link in the top menu:
 - On the page that loads, fill out the form with your information. The fields with a blue asterisk are required; the rest are optional.  However, the more information you include, and the more complete your profile, the more useful the site will be. Â
- Your name fields may be pre-populated. Â Please make any necessary changes.
- To upload your Profile photo (Contact Pic), click the Upload Your Profile Picture button:
- Then click Choose File:
 Select the file and then click OK:
If you see an error "This filename already exists. Please rename your file before trying to upload it.", that means there is already a profile photo for someone uploaded with that same filename. To upload your photo, simply rename your file and then try to upload it again.
- Next, click Save.
Â
- When you are finished filling out the form, click the Save button at the bottom to save your information.
- You will then be brought to the list of Researchers' Profiles where you can see all of the researchers on the site.
