All people -- PI's, their staff, and Grants Office officials -- who
plan to work with NIH applications and awards need to be registered
with the NIH eRA Commons.  This is not a number as such, but a
Username, and a password to open the Commons.

A person needs to "register" with the Commons in order to obtain a
username and password.  This registration must be done by a person so
authorized to so by NIH through a campus "Signing Official."  You
need to contact the person on your campus who has Registration
rights.  At most institutions this person is in the Grants Office.
Many places have this information on the Grants Office Web site.
This, for example, is what we have at UM
http://www.research.umich.edu/nih/commons/

Perhaps your Grants Office has a similar site.

> Hi all,

I'm a beginner with ERA and NIH.  I just had a call from a PI who had
talked to NIH.  He was told he did not have an NIH account number.
"There is no account in which they could access document."

I went to the eRA NIH page and got lots of info but could not find
how to get a number.

Please help,
Carol
