Are you a signing official or principal investigator planning to be away from the office? Do not let award management tasks pile up in your absence. Simply use the delegation feature in eRA Commons to allow others to act on your behalf. To accommodate scheduled absences and the need for assistance with award management tasks, delegation of specific duties and privileges are baked into the design of eRA Commons.
The Personal Profile module in eRA Commons is where you — as a principal investigator, award recipient, trainee, reviewer or other Commons user — tell NIH and other awarding agencies about yourself. Awarding agencies need to know about you to grant awards, process those awards and more. Here are a few reasons that it is extremely important to keep your Personal Profile updated.
