AHRQ and NIH Continue To Transition to Electronic Grant Applications:
All AHRQ R01 research grant applications for the February 5 deadline and all NIH RO1 research grant applications must be submitted electronically using form set SF 424 (R&R). To provide a secure environment, the submission of electronic applications to NIH and AHRQ will require organizations to register with both Grants.gov and the NIH eRA Commons (Commons). One-time registrations for both Grants.gov and the eRA Commons systems must be completed before application submission. Applicants should submit applications early—ideally 4 weeks before the deadline. This transition continues through May 2007 for AHRQ and until the end of 2007 for NIH. Select for additional information. Please direct questions regarding the Commons registration process to the NIH eRA Commons help desk at phone: 301-402-7469/866-504-9552 (Toll Free); 301-451-5939 (TTY) business hours M-F 7am-8pm Eastern Standard Time. For additional information concerning this change contact Grants Info in the Office of Extramural Research at the National Institutes of Health
