NIH
Commons: Introduction
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.

eSNAP

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.
