What Are the Options for Obtaining an eRA Commons Username (Commons ID) For a Senior/Key Person Who Isn ’t Affiliated With a Registered Organization?
Beginning with application due dates on or after January 25, 2022, NIH will require eRA Commons IDs in the Credential field of the Sr/Key Person Profile form for all individuals listed on that form (NOT-OD-21-109).

Announcement of Childcare Costs for Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award Institutional Research Training Awards
NIH began providing childcare cost support to recipients of full-time National Research Service Awards (NRSA) fellowships this past April (see this blog). We recognize that the high cost of childcare effects graduate students and post-doctorates funded through NRSA fellowships and can impact their ability to successfully complete their training and fully participate in the extramural research workforce. Since then, questions arose about when childcare cost support may be available to NRSA trainees.
We are pleased to announce that NIH will now begin providing childcare cost support to full-time predoctoral and postdoctoral ...

Can I Request an Extension to My ESI Period for an Event That Occurred During a Timeframe That Includes a Previous Extension?
An Early Stage Investigator (ESI) is a Program Director/Principal Investigator (PD/PI) who has completed their terminal research degree or end of post-graduate clinical training (whichever date is later) within the past 10 years and who has not previously competed successfully as PD/PI for a substantial NIH independent research award.
Some investigators experience a lapse in their research or research training or experience periods of less than full-time effort during the 10-year ESI period. In order to accommodate such lapses, the NIH considers requests to extend the ESI period for reasons that can include medical concern...
