Please use this form to initiate your eRA Commons Registration. eRA Commons is a portal system for managing the lifecycle of grants for NIH, NOAA, and USDA-NIFA.
The University of Maryland's eRA Commons Administrator will create an account for you upon receipt of your registration information. Once the account has been created, you will receive an automated email notification from eRA Commons requesting that you validate your account. Upon validation, it may take up to 2–3 business days to activate your account. If you have any questions, feel free to contact the Administrator at oraera@umd.edu.
If prompted, please use your valid University email account (directoryID@umd.edu) to access the Central Authentication Service (CAS) login page.
Then, log in using your University Directory ID and password to view the form.
