eRA Cloud Migration: All Systems Unavailable April 17-20 (Fri-Mon)

The electronic Research Administration (eRA) is planning to migrate its modules and data to the cloud April 17-20, 2020 (Fri-Mon).

As a result, during this cloud migration, from 8 a.m. ET on Friday, April 17 to 8 p.m. ET on Monday, April 20, all eRA modules (eRA Commons, ASSIST, IAR, iEdison, etc.) and all informational websites (era.nih.gov, etc.) will be unavailable. 

Please note that there is no action required by users before or after the migration. When the systems are back up, the modules will function as usual.

Any affected due dates will be covered under NIH’s late application policy due to COVID-19, which allows all applications submitted late for due dates between March 9, 2020, and May 1, 2020, to be accepted through May 1, 2020.
