If you are having trouble viewing any of the information contained in this help topic, it can also be found in the eRA Commons User Guide located online at http://era.nih.gov/commons/user_guide.cfm. Refer to the User Guide's Table of Contents for your specific topic.
When a successful search is performed in the Federal Financial Report/Financial Status Report Search, the Federal Financial Report/Financial Status Report Search Result screen displays the results of that search. The search result screen includes a FFR/FSR New Search link, a Summary Totals section, and the Search Result hit list containing the search results.
The search result screen includes a link entitled FFR/FSR New Search. Selecting this link will return the user to the Federal Financial Report/Financial Status Report Search screen on which a new search can be performed.
The Summary Totals section displays a summary of the grants returned by the search. The Summary Totals lists the total count of all returned grants as well as counts for each status.
When a search is performed on the Federal Financial System/Financial Status Report Search screen, the FFR system retrieves all matching awarded grants (except Fellowships) and sorts the resulting record set 100 records at a time, up to 500 records, in a hitlist. These grants are displayed in order of their Latest FFR Status.
The information displayed includes Grant Number; Institution Name; ARRA; Sandy; Budget Start Date; Budget End Date; FFR Due Date; and Latest FFR Status. The ARRA column displays Yes if the grant was funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The Sandy column displays Yes to indicate the grant is an NIH Hurricane Sandy Recovery Award.
To navigate through the records, use the pagination links (e.g., 1, 2) or arrow links at the top of the search results.
To access the details for a particular grant, click on the link for the specific grant number.
NOTE: If an FFR is Due, Pending, or Late and has not been started, clicking the link for the grant number on the FFR Search Result screen will open a new FFR form which can be populated and submitted. Refer to the topic titled Federal Financial Report Form for details on populating an FFR form.
NOTE: When the latest status of an FFR for a grant is Due, Pending, or Late, clicking the grant number link from the FFR Search Result does not open the FFR Details screen. For FFRs not started, a new FFR form displays for entry. If an FFR already exists, the FFR opens for editing and submission. Refer to the topic titled Federal Financial Report Form for information on completing the FFR form.
