Intramural Certification Form - Renewal

For Intramural LRP Applications

You (the IC Coordinator) must certify LRP applications before the application deadline. Information on the application deadline is provided in the email you received from NIH. The renewal certification screen excludes the citizenship question since the applicant’s citizenship was certified when they were a new applicant.

For a renewal, the contract execution dates will extend in duration by one year. It will be contiguous to previous contract and will add one year onto the original contract period.

  1. Log into eRA Commons; see Logging Into eRA Commons.

  2. Click the three-dot ellipsis menu for the applicant you are certifying and select Start Certification. The Certification Status should initially display as Not Started for a renewal applicant.

Contract Date Calculations

Contract dates are calculated based on IC Coordinator input. Read below for guidelines.

Contract Start Date

  • The duration of the renewal is 1 year.

  • When the renewal application is started, if the end date of the most recent award is within the current fiscal year, the system sets the start date of the contract to the end date of the previous award + one day.

  • When the renewal application is started, if the end date of the most recent award is NOT within the current fiscal year, the system sets the start date of the contract to October 1 of the current fiscal year.

Contract End Date

The contract end date is calculated as one year from the start date.
