eRA Commons FAQs 
Comments & Feedback (We value community input)
eRA systems provide applicants, grantees and federal staff the tools necessary for electronic processing of grants. Used by NIH, AHRQ, CDC, FDA, SAMHSA and the VA, the eRA Commons and IMPAC II systems support the full grants life cycle from receipt to award to closeout.
NOTE: The use of the eSNAP module will soon be discontinued. Progress reports for applications subject to SNAP and for Fellowships must be submitted electronically using the Research Performance Progress Report (RPPR) for awards with start dates on or after July 1, 2013 (i.e., due dates on or after May 15, 2013, for SNAP awards and May 1, 2013, for Fellowships). The RPPR is a federal-wide progress report that is replacing eSNAP.
See the RPPR webpage and Guide Notice NOT-OD-13-035 for information.
