The eRA Commons, the electronic research administration system of NIH, is accessible via the internet. The system offers principal investigators and their research staff several online features including:
- Application Status: The ability to view the full application, check for errors, verify and sign-off on NIH grant applications that were submitted via Grants.gov. More information about using Grants.gov
The ability to review the current status of grant applications including application assignment information, PDF copies of applications (in many cases), copies of all previous Notices of Grant Award, access to NIH database providing current information on the program official and grants management specialist.
Specific application questions should be addressed to the designated Project Representative.
-
eSNAP: The ability for a PI and delegates to prepare a non-competing renewal electronically that an institution will then review and submit to NIH. See the section on eSNAPs. Questions about eSNAPs should be addressed to Laura Cifor.

Commons Registration
Most NIH Commons functions require a Commons registration: a user name and password. These are assigned by the UM liaison, Laura Cifor.
Each user will be assigned a unique Commons username and password. A PI can assign privileges of updating personal profiles and assisting in submitting a non-competing renewal (eSNAP) to staff and collaborators using these usernames and passwords.
To begin the registration process, please click the following UM Registration Page link to access a registration information form. This will require your UM uniqname and kerberos password: Registration Page
