Key/Senior Personnel

Profile - Project Director/ Principal Investigator

Name/ Address/ Contact fields: The fields for the PI (Fellow) are populated from the face page. If the information is not correct, than return to the face page and make the changes there.

Check the ERA commons - The first name, middle and last name, must match the name that is registered with ERA commons. If the person is registered without a middle name in the ERA commons, then do not enter one in the 424 forms. If they are registered with a middle initial, the initial must be entered in the middle name field. The address must also match that which is in the ERA commons. It is best to have the PI verify which information is entered in the commons before you fill out this form.

Credential, e.g., agency login:

Enter the ERA Commons ID. While this field is not marked as required on the 424 forms, NIH does require it and will return a grant with errors if it is not filled in for the fellow. If the fellow does not have a login, email the grant specialist and she will see that one is assigned.
