It sounds like the other institution will obviously be the prime. As far as I know, NIH is only requiring Commons IDs for the PIs (and if awarded all graduate students and post docs on the project). So, you could create the Commons ID for her at your institution and the mechanics would work ok. However, the bigger question is whether or not  she has received approval from your institution to be a summer visiting researcher at  the other university.

Subject: [RESADM-L] eRA Commons ID question - any help appreciated

Good morning,

I have a faculty member that wants an eRA Commons ID so she can be a "summer visiting researcher" on a grant being submitted by another university.  This does not sound right to me.  So, my questions are -  Doesn't the grant need to be run through UNCW since her Commons ID is associating herself with our university?  Is there a way for her to perform this work as an independent contractor?  Is there a way to register in the Commons as an independent contractor?

Of course this is due today and she's trying to push it through.  So grateful that NIH is closed due to the weather today.  Will that give us an automatic deferment on the submission date?

Thanks so much.  MJ
