2020-2021 OATS Annual Certification of Outside Professional Activities

How to Certify and Submit an Annual Certification Report

• Reporting NO Outside Professional Activities (OPA) – if you did not engage in OPA
• Reporting Category I, II, & III Outside Professional Activities (OPA) – if you engaged in OPA that required prior approval
  • UC Davis requires additional information to be included for the review of Category I prior approval requests. The additional information must be included or attached to the "Notes" section of your prior approval request in UC OATS, otherwise, the request will be returned and cause delays in the review process.  NOTE: there are three sections to the form. Everyone must complete Section 1 and either Section 2 and/or Section 3 depending on the activity/activities selected for prior approval.
