Status (eRA Commons)
What is the purpose?
The Status module is a secure web interface in eRA Commons that allows
Project Directors/Principal Investigators (PD/PIs) and Signing
Officials (SOs) to track the status of grant applications
through the submission process, view all applications as well
as notice of awards and other key documents, and perform several post-submission
and post-award transactions. The functions available to a
user are based on the “role” associated
with their eRA Commons account. In addition to the SO and
PI roles, some Status functions are available through role assignment
or delegation to other eRA Commons roles (see eRA Commons
Roles).
The eRA system is used by multiple Federal Agencies. Please follow the specific submission policies of the Agency to which you are applying regarding their use of this module.
What are the features of the Status module?
- Custom View:
- PD/PIs can see all the grant applications for which they are the designated PI
- SOs can use various search functions to access
information for all grant applications originating
from their organization
- Track Electronic Application Submission:
- View Errors/Warnings: SOs and PD/PIs can view the status of a grant application submitted through Grants.gov and view any errors/warnings identified by the eRA system during the submission process
- View Assembled Application: SOs and PD/PIs can view an assembled application, just as a reviewer would see it, before the submission process is complete and the application moves on for further processing by federal staff
- Reject Application:
SOs can stop the submission of an application if it
is determined that some part of the application was
lost or did not transfer correctly during the submission
process
