I received a message from Commons stating: WARNING: The eRA Commons account has SO and PI roles. What should I do?
eRA requires separate Principal Investigator (PI) and Signing Official (SO) accounts. Should you have both roles associated with one Commons account, you can resolve this issue by creating a separate eRA Commons account for the Signing Official, then deleting the ‘SO’ role from the account included in the submission. Follow these steps for the SO to create a new account for someone in his/her organization.
