  2. Why is data quality important? • Affects every business area that touches the application. • Bad data can delay a review or an award • Duplicate profiles can cause a PD/PI to miss out on continuous submission eligibility • Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act • Organizational Hierarchy coding can affect end of year reporting

  5. Current actions to assure data quality • Due diligence when registering organizations • More and more checks when application comes into eRA from Grants.gov • Work with eRA CRMs when the source of incorrect data can be traced to a specific eRA module

  6. Future changes coming to assist in quality of data • NIH Office of the Enterprise Architect project to standardize external organization registration (Enrollment of Vendors and Grantees) • Use of CCR data where possible • Federated Authentication – should reduce potential for duplicate profiles • Project to determine top sources of data corruption and prioritization for their correction with eRA management
