Electronic Application Processing
The eRA eXchange retrieves grant applications that Grants.gov has queued for eRA system retrieval and runs checks (validations) on the applications to ensure they comply with appropriate policy and application guidelines. If there are no errors, the entire application is assembled and made available for viewing for the submitting organization’s business official (Signing Official) and scientist (Project Director/Principal Investigator) in eRA Commons. Most applications, unless expressly rejected by the SO within the specified window, move forward for review and funding consideration.
