MORE THAN JUST GRANTS
eRA modules are used for the application process for LRP, a program that repays a portion of a researcher’s qualified educational debt in return for a commitment to engage in NIH mission-relevant research.
A unique type of legal instrument that is different from contracts, grants, or cooperative agreements. OTs are used to fund specific transactions and are administered through eRA modules.
eRA modules are used to issue and manage Certificates of Confidentiality designed to protect the privacy of research participants by prohibiting disclosure of identifiable, sensitive research information.
