Inviting Supervisors: How to Get Started

Create a Volunteer Assignment

Research volunteers may only participate in a volunteer assignment after being invited by a qualified UCLA Health Sciences supervisor.

To initiate the process, invite prospective volunteers to apply through an existing volunteer assignment using the designated Opportunity Link. The Opportunity Link will allow applicants to begin the required prescreening and onboarding process.

If an Opportunity Link is not available, the Inviting Supervisor must submit a completed and signed Research Volunteer Scope of Duties (RVSD) Form (Mednet login required): https://uclahs.box.com/s/bzuo1mfk2rg59fwyx30x4glcefb68vjc

Please note:

  • Volunteers and other non-employees may not complete or submit the RVSD Form.
  • Only one RVSD Form is required for multiple individuals serving in the same volunteer role.
  • Staff who are authorized representatives of faculty may complete the form on the faculty member’s behalf.
  • Processing and response times may be longer during the summer and at the beginning of academic quarters. Thank you for your patience.

Supervisor Eligibility

Inviting Supervisors must be UCLA Health Sciences employees. Undergraduate student workers and contingent staff are not eligible to serve as volunteer supervisors.
