Why do I, as an investigator, need to register with the eRA Commons when Ill be submitting my NIH proposal through Grants.gov?
A. The SF424RR form’s Senior Personnel Profile requires PI’s to include a “Credential e.g. agency login.” This credential is the eRA Commons user ID. When a proposal is submitted via Grants.gov, there will be a two-business-day interval when the PI and the institutional SO can view and correct any errors in the proposal via the eRA Commons system. A proposal is not considered submitted until it is error-free.
