Performing a Query

All queries, within Status, are performed similarly. Criteria are entered within the parameter fields and once a query is executed, the Hit List displays a list of grants that meets the criteria. Queries can be created using one or a combination of query parameters.

To enter a query:

Use the key to move between fields when entering criteria.
Use the drop-down list button to select criteria from a list of options.
Click the button.
Use the button to remove all entered criteria from the search fields before entering another query.

NOTE: The Clear button removes only entered query criteria.

To narrow your search, use the following field definitions and examples.

Grant Number

The Grant Number consists of six (6) fields and by entering criteria within one or a combination of fields that make up the grant application number; PO's may access all grants within eRA.

The application number identifies the type of application (i.e., Type 1), activity code (i.e., R01), administering organization (i.e., AI), serial number assigned by CSR, suffix showing the support year for the grant and other information identifying a supplement, amendment, or a fellowship's institutional allowance. For contracts, a modification number replaces the suffix.

PI Name

The PI Name consists of two (2) fields, the Last name and First name of the Principal Investigator. Wildcards are used to perform a search. For example:

Enter the PI's name (e.g., Peters)
The Hit List displays Peters, Petersen, Peterson, Petersson, etc.

NOTE: The Status module supports automatic use of the wildcard character %; however, this character should never be used alone.

Application Status

This field is used to search for grants based on the current status of the grant within the grant life cycle. More than one status code is included in a "status group."

Click the drop-down list button to view the options.
For the Pending Progress Report select "Pending" from the Application Status drop down list.

Entering Dates

All dates such as, Budget Start Dates and Due Dates, are entered using the format MM/DD/YYYY.

Alternatively, select the Calendar icon to access a Calendar window where the desired date can be selected.
