The Commons is a system that provides
alternative means by which grantee organizations can communicate
with the NIH electronically for the purposes of extramural
research administration. To be able to use the NIH Commons,
SFSU faculty and staff need to be registered and have
a password assigned. To register for a SFSU password,
visit the NIH
Commons page. Please allow up to 4 days for your password
to be activated. Some of the current features of the Commons
are:
- Status — Allows Principal Investigators
to review the current status of all their grant applications
and review detailed information associated with their
grants. Institution Officials (i.e., Signing Official
(SO) or Administrative Official (AO) associated with
the institution) can see a summary view of grant applications,
review the Notice of Grant Award, and access the Progress
Report face page.
- Just-In-Time — Within Status, users
will find a feature to submit Just-In-Time information
when requested by the NIH. NIH policy allows the submission
of certain elements of a competing application to
be deferred. Through this module, institutions can
electronically submit the information that is requested
after the review, but before award.
- No-Cost Extension — Within Status, users
will find a feature to automatically extend grants
that are eligible for a one-time extension of the
final budget period of a project period without additional
NIH funds through the eRA Commons. The system will
automatically change the end date for the grant and
notify the appropriate NIH staff.
- eSNAP — Allows an institution to review
non-competing grant data and submit a progress report
online.
- Internet Assisted Review (IAR) — Allows
reviewer to submit critiques and preliminary scores
for applications they are reviewing. Allows Reviewers,
SRAs, and GTAs to view all critiques in preparation
for a meeting. IAR creates a preliminary summary statement
body containing submitted critiques for the SRA or
GTA.
- Administration — Provides the ability
for an institution to create and manage user accounts
associated with its institution. Additionally, it
allows the institution's Signing Official (SO) to
maintain the institution information on file at the
NIH.
- Demo Facility — Demo
Facility allows you to try most of the capabilities
of the NIH eRA Commons in a sample environment.
Any questions regarding the Commons should be directed
