Expanding Requirement for eRA Commons IDs to All Senior/Key Personnel
NIH Notice Number: NOT-OD-21-109
Release Date: April 20, 2021
Summary:
Targeting due dates on or after January 25, 2022, an eRA Commons ID must be entered in the “Credential, e.g. agency login” field for all Senior/Key Personnel (as defined in NIH GPS 1.2) listed on the R&R Senior/Key Person Profile (Expanded) Form. An eRA system validation will be implemented to check for a valid eRA Commons ID. For multi-project applications, this requirement also applies to the individual components of the application and not to just the Overall component
To facilitate awareness of this policy change, starting late April, applicants will encounter an eRA system validation if the “Credential, e.g. agency login” field is blank or does not contain a valid eRA Commons ID. This validation will be a warning for no less than 2 council rounds before being escalated to an error that must be corrected before the application can be submitted to the agency.
If needed, contact your UNC Research Administrator with the AO, AA role to have your eRA Commons created, or send email to grants@unc.edu
