Electronic Research Administration (ERA)Electronic Research Administration (ERA) is the general term applied to describe a series of new trends associated with: the identification of new funding opportunities; the submission of grant applications; the review of grant proposals; and the management of subsequent grant and contract awards - all conducted via the Internet. ERA is rapidly taking the place of traditional means of correspondence in the research community. Grants.Gov is the name given the Federal government's primary initiative in electronic research administration. By the end of FY07, all grant proposals to Federal agencies must be submitted via Grants.Gov. Many agencies already require its use for proposal submissions. Most agencies that currently use ERA software require an investigator to register through their home institution. In the case of BNL, this means one must contact Alison Schwarz (ext. 3428) in the Office of Intellectual Property and Sponsored Research.
