National Institutes of Health (NIH) Update:

NEW WAY TO LOG INTO YOUR eCOMMONS (NIH) ACCOUNT - Required Use of Two-Factor Authentication via login.gov

Users of eRA Commons, ASSIST, Internet Assisted Review (IAR) and Commons Mobile will be required to use login.gov for two-factor authentication by September 15,  2021. Users should make sure their account is active they know their account password. If you are unsure of either, then use the link — Forgot Password/Unlock Account?.  Also, do not use any old bookmarked URLs, as it may interfere with the login.gov setup process. For more information: https://era.nih.gov/register-accounts/access-era-modules-via-login-gov.htm Unfortunately, due to the new dual login authentication Research Affairs staff will not be able to assist with forgotten passwords.

NEW NIH OTHER SUPPORT FORMAT:

We are now using the New NIH Other Support format when Other Support documentation is required. This new format requires signature verification that all information is accurate. More information, FAQs, and a sample of the OS document can be found at https://grants.nih.gov/grants/forms/othersupport.htm.

NEW NIH BIOSKETCH FORMAT: 

We are beginning our transition to using the New biosketch format. We encourage you to “try SciENcv, a tool supporting multiple research agencies, to help you develop your biosketch and automatically format it according to NIH requirements.” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sciencv/

You can find detailed instructions, FAQs, and samples at https://grants.nih.gov/grants/forms/biosketch.htm
