Steve,
Are you doing this in addition to or instead of preparing to be a
Grants.gov institutional system provider with its System to System
version.

We are in planning stages for the S2S Grants.gov option.  Cannot see
doing both as there are some differences. By the time we are ready, G.g
will be accepting everything (hopefully).

Bob

Dear Colleagues:

We are investigating the possibility of becoming a NIH eRA
institutional service provider (only for submission of our own
proposals).  I would appreciate any input and advice from any of you who
have either done this or are in the process of doing so.

I don't need to hear from the commercial service providers because I am
aware of thier products.  We are trying to determine if an
institutionally-developed system-to-sytem approach which interfaces with
our own eRA software system is our best practice approach.

Thanks,

Steve
