Reminder of eRA Commons ID Requirement for All Personnel on the R&R Senior/Key Person Profile Form

January 16, 2024

Announcement: The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has released a reminder and updated guidance to the requirement for eRA Commons IDs for all Senior/Key Personnel. An eRA Commons ID must be entered in the “Credential, e.g. agency login” field for all Senior/Key Personnel, as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement (NIH GPS 1.2), and Other Significant Contributors (OSCs) listed on the R&R Senior/Key Person Profile Form. Currently, applicants will encounter an eRA system warning if the “Credential, e.g. agency login” field is blank or does not contain a valid eRA Commons ID. The validation is anticipated to be updated from a warning to an error in mid-January in advance of due dates on or after January 25, 2024. 

Please review the full notice for additional details.

Questions? If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to your DCG Officer or post your question in our DCG Slack Channel.
