News for Researchers
NIH has begun requiring that grant applications be submitted via the Web portal Grants.gov (grants.gov) using Form SF 424 (Research and Related, or R&R, application). At least 2 weeks before submitting an application, institutions must register with Grants.gov, and principal investigators with eRA Commons. These changes are being phased in by grant mechanism (type of grant). For more information, see era.nih.gov/electronicreceipt.
