Electronic Research Administration Computer Workshop Opportunity
The NIH eRA Commons is an on-line connection to NIH for information
on pending applications and awarded grants as well as a gateway
for the electronic facilitation of many routine business processes.
An overview of the eRA systems will be covered in the Regional Seminar
itself and an eRA booth will be staffed throughout the two-day seminar
to answer questions, but for those who prefer a hands-on orientation
to computer systems we are offering the following 2 ½ hr
computer labs on the Wednesday preceding the Seminar. There is an
additional fee for these labs. Please see the registration materials
for fees and times of labs. Space is limited.
