  • 1.  Delay expected for eRA Commons account creation?

    Posted Tue October 07, 2025 09:17
    Good morning to you.  I set a PI up with an eRA Commons account yesterday, but no confirmation email has arrived to the Inbox or Spam folder.  It's not panic time for another few days at least; have you had a similar situation in the past few days that resolved itself, or are you also waiting for new accounts to be activated? What's a "typical" turnaround time, even if we're not particularly "typical" at the moment? 

    Thanks!  And here's a Birdie pic for you taking the time to read this.  The eRA Commons account is not for her, to be clear. Carry on, Champ!

    I think it's one of those things where the system has to refresh.  Thank you for sharing the photo ��

    We are experiencing the same issue at the University of Minnesota, so you are not alone. It is typically very fast, but has not resolved itself (it's been about a week). 

    My situation isn't urgent, so I haven't tried to contact the eRA Commons Help Desk. I am guessing it isn't operational, but I haven't checked. That would be the first stop.

    I'm a bit of a broken record sharing this link, but I've found it rather informative: https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-26-004.html

    Based on this, I think that a lot of eRA Commons functions are not happening/delayed, and support is limited.
