Inside eRA for Partners Back Issues

Inside eRA for Partners, a news update from the NIH Office of Electronic Research and Reports Management (OERRM), provides its partners in the grantee community with pertinent information about the plans and progress of the NIH Electronic Research Administration (eRA). Through developing enterprise–level services for researchers and science managers, and through the support of critical information services, OERRM provides the grants programs of the NIH and the Department with technologies that reduce the costs of grants administration, capture and analyze grant data, and synthesize research information into knowledge that guides our research portfolio towards improving the Nation’s health.

If you have technical questions about NIH eRA Commons software, email the Helpdesk or call 301-402-7469 (toll-free 866-504-9552). Address other questions or concerns to members of the NIH Commons Working Group, who serve as liaisons to the grantee community.
