Overview of eRA SBIR Opportunity Jerry Stuck Coordinator of Commons Activities eRA Project
Background - NIH Grants • ~$13.5 Billion in FY2000 • 50,000 Grantees Worldwide • Applicants submit ~47,000 competing research and research training applications each year
Background – NIH Grantees • In FY2000, NIH provided research support to: • >2,500 institutions, universities, medical schools, research institutes, and for-profit and not-for-profit organizations • >$1M to 663 institutions • >$10M to 200 institutions • >$100M to 40 institutions
Background – eRA Project • Electronic research administration (eRA) is NIH’s infrastructure for conducting electronic transactions for the receipt, monitoring, and administration of NIH grant awards to biomedical investigators worldwide • eRA integrates two parallel systems: NIH Commons and IMPAC II • NIH Commons is the external grantee customer interface • IMPAC II is the internal NIH customer interface
200,000,000 Pieces of Paper eRA Objective = Full Electronic Grants Administration ~ 100,000 Applicants / 2,200 Grantee Institutions Worldwide ~ 100,000 Applicants / 2,000 Grantee Institutions Worldwide IMPAC II NIH Transactional Database - IMPAC II NIH Transactional Database - 1.6 million transactions daily 3,500 Users from OD & IC’s

Research Objectives • NIH Services • Register with the NIH Commons • Create and Update Organizational and Professional Profiles • Submit Competitive Grant Applications • Check Status of pending actions • Submit Non-competing progress reports • Submit Invention Disclosures • Receive Notice of Grant Award
Certification • Certification process will be developed working with Phase II awardees • Resulting in Certification of software/services developed by Phase II awardees • Certification could be given for applications that perform some, but not all, Commons functions
