NIH Commons: Introduction

Introduction | Requesting Authorized Official Access | Creating Accounts | eSNAP
FAQs | Just In Time (JIT)

The Electronic Research Administration (ERA) Commons is a virtual meeting place where NIH extramural grantee organizations, grantees, and the public can receive and transmit information about the administration of biomedical and behavioral research. The ERA Commons is divided into both unrestricted and restricted portions that provide for public and confidential information, respectively.

Researchers and administrators must register with NIH in order to use restricted-access features in Commons.

FSR allows electronic submission of financial information associated with a grant.

eSNAP
This facility allows an institution to prepare, review and submit SNAP-eligible, non-competing proposals (progress reports) online. If you're participating in our pilot program, read more about how to complete an eSNAP.

Just In Time (JIT)
NIH policy allows the submission of certain elements of a competing application to be deferred. Using the Status module, information requested after the application’s review, referred to as Just In Time (JIT), is uploaded in to the Commons and submitted electronically. To submit JIT documents via the Commons, please read our step by step instructions.

Internet Assisted Review (IAR)
IAR allows a Reviewer to submit critiques and preliminary scores for applications they are reviewing. Allows Reviewers, SRAs, and GTAs to view all critiques in preparation for the meeting. IAR creates a preliminary summary statement body containing submitted critiques for the SRA or GTA.
