Do Deans’ Committee representatives on the R&D Committee have to be credentialed?
No, Deans’ Committee representatives do not need to be credentialed. However, to protect them from liability claims they should have a Without Compensation (WOC) appointment. WOC appointments generally require a background check (SF 85). Q: We’ve had a number of investigators with credentialing requests from several VAs – all-asking for the same info. What should we have on file at our facility if the verification is performed at another VA facility? A: Credentials should only be verified by the employee’s home VA site. Copies of materials collected and verified by the home VA site should be shared with other VA sites requiring this information. The other VA sites do not have to do primary verification of credentials.
