NIH: Reminder of eRA Commons ID Requirement for All Personnel on the R&R Senior/Key Person Profile Form
(Excerpt from NIH Extramural Nexus 12/22/2023)

In April 2021, NIH announced that all personnel listed on the R&R Senior/Key Person Profile (Expanded) Form must have an eRA Commons ID. Those who did not comply were given a warning.  Fast forward to now.
Having given ample notice to the applicant and recipient community and seeing a high level of compliance, NIH will now update the warning to an error for non-compliance with this requirement in mid-January.
Applicants will receive an error if the “Credential, e.g., agency field” is blank or does not contain a valid eRA Commons ID for all personnel on the form. That includes Senior/Key Personnel and Other Significant Contributors. Errors must be corrected before an application can be successfully submitted to the agency. Notice Number: NOT-OD-24-042<https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-24-042.html>

Frequently Asked Questions

Q:  Is the Kuali Build C&G Application in EACS used for the routing of proposals in Kuali?
A:  No.

EACS is not used for roles and permissions in Kuali Research (e.g., proposal, award, and subaward modules).  Rather, roles and permissions for such modules are configured within the Kuali Research system.  Request for change(s) to individuals assigned to roles in Kuali Research need to be emailed (with a concurrence from the department SAA or CFAO) to kualisupport at ucr.edu<mailto:kualisupport at ucr.edu>.

The Kuali Build C&G application in EACS is used for roles/permissions and routing of Kuali Build forms associated with C&G activity (e.g., Request for PI Eligibility by Exception, PreAward Spending Requests, Material Transfer Requests, etc.).  As such, department SAA’s should continue to keep this application up to date so to ensure that forms route for approval to the appropriate individuals. (Kuali Build C&G in EACS duplicated the roles/permissions previously established in the eCAF application as of June 2023.)

Q:  If the questionnaires have been completed and no errors appear under Data Validation, then why is the PI still unable to Save & Submit the proposal into routing?
A:  The PI must complete the Proposal Person Certification (located under the Key Personnel). See Step by step guidance.<https://live-ucr-research.pantheonsite.io/sites/default/files/2023-09/Proposal%20Person%20Certification.pdf>
