NIH Electronic Submission
 

As part of the Department of Health and Human Services' implementation of e-Government the NIH is transitioning each research grant mechanism to electronic submission through Grants.gov and the use of the SF 424 Research and Related (R&R) forms. For information on this transition and for the process of submitting applications electronically, please see NIH's Electronic Submission website at

http://era.nih.gov/ElectronicReceipt/

and the transition timeline.  NIH will announce each grant mechanism change in the NIH Guide to Grants and Contracts (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/index.html).
 

NIH electronic submissions require registration with both Grants.gov and NIH eRA Commons. ETSU as an institution is registered with Grants.gov. However, individual PIs must register with NIH eRA Commons prior to submission. If you have questions about or need assistance with registration, please contact Cynthia Hardin.
