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 ...

Join Us for the 2021 NIH Virtual Seminar on Program Funding and Grants Administration
The NIH Regional Seminars, which NIH has held once or twice a year for decades, have been great opportunities to help researchers, research administrators, trainees and others to better understand the NIH grants process.
