Early Stage Investigator (ESI) Extension Request Process Moving to eRA Commons
NIH recognizes that a lot can happen to interrupt the ten-year
eligibility window of your Early
Stage Investigator (ESI) status, such as family care responsibilities,
military service, medical concerns, and more. While you may currently request
an extension of that ten-year period by completing an Extension
Request Form, the process for requesting an extension of ESI status will
soon be moving to the eRA Commons.
Beginning on August 22, 2019, investigators will be able to
request an extension of their ESI eligibility directly through eRA Commons via
an ESI Extension request button in the Education section of their personal
profile. For step-by-step instructions, review the video tutorial ESI
Status Extension Request on the eRA Videos page.

Notice, the ESI Policies
page, and the ESI FAQs page.
