Updating Assurances/certifications in NIH Commons Shepard, Andy 08 May 2007 10:09 EST
Hello Fellow NIH Administrators, With the requirement for the PI assurance on all NIH progress reports, is each applicant organization required to secure a "written assurance" from the PI in either a traditional "handwritten" format or through alternative methods for each progress report? Or is securing a written assurance at time of the competitive application sufficient? Thanks for your responses. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ Andy Shepard, CRA Office of Sponsored Research University of New Hampshire Durham, NH 0384-3585 Phone: (603) 862-2436 Fax: (603) 862-3564 http://www.unh.edu/osr/ -----Original Message----- From: Research Administration List [mailto:xxxxxx@hrinet.org] On Behalf Of Pamela T.

The following was taken from: NIH Announces Changes to eRA Commons, Particularly the Electronic Streamlined Non-competing Award Process (eSNAP) Function (NOT-OD-07-064) National Institutes of Health http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-07-064.html *Changes to Institutional Profile Assurances/Certifications * The Assurances/Certification section within the Institutional Profile has been revised to reflect all assurances included in NIH applications and progress reports; specifically Prohibited Research, Select Agent Research and PI Assurance have been added, others have been edited to reflect current terminology. Institutional Officials submitting eSNAP progress reports will be required to update the institutional profile to indicate their compliance with these additional assurances. Grantees are reminded that if an institution is not in compliance with any of these assurances at the time of an eSNAP submission, additional information concerning this issue must be included as part of the "Other Attachments" in an eSNAP submission. **Institutional Signing Officials are strongly encouraged to update the Assurances/Certifications section within the Institutional Profile immediately to avoid any potential delay of eSNAP submissions.* * Enjoy the weekend.
