Accessing the LRP Award Service/Research Verification Portal

For Research Supervisors to Access the Service/Research Verification Portal

Research supervisors use the LRP Award Service/Research Verification Portal, which is part of NIH's eRA Commons, to verify an LRP awardee’s service and research on a quarterly basis for the duration of an LRP award. The link and instructions are sent to the research supervisor in an email.
