How are the letters or forms linked to an application, and what happens to letters or forms that are not linked to applications?
Reference letters or reference forms are linked to an application using the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) number and the Commons User ID of the applicant, as supplied by the referee. It is very important that the referee provide accurate information; if this information is not provided or is provided incorrectly, the reference letter or reference forms will never be linked to the application. Letters or forms that are not linked to an application will be deleted from eRA Commons after six months. Note: If the applicant must submit Changed/Corrected application(s) to address eRA identified errors/warnings, the reference letters or reference forms will automatically transfer to the most recent application submission for a specific opportunity deadline.
