NIH Post Award Prior Approval Actions

 

OSPIP Actions in eRA Commons for NCE

The OSPIP CO will review the Extension request; and if approved, will update in NIH eRA Commons.

• A copy of the Extension request from the PI will be put into the OSPIP file. It must include the e-mail header information demonstrating that it was requested by the PI. This may be audited by NIH.
• To Extend the Period, the OSPIP CO enters NIH eRA Commons/Extension Page as a Signing Official selects a 12 month, 9 month, or 6 month extension.
1. Sign-in with NIH eRA Commons
2. Access the Award through the Status Tab
3. Once the Award appears (in this case we search on all of the Award for a Given PI),
4. Click on the "Extension" action.



 

• The NIH eRA Commons Extension Page will appear for action.

 

• The end date automatically is filled in on the NIH eRA Commons Extension when the selection is complete.
• When the information on the NIH eRA Commons Extension Page matches the request from the PI, then the OSPIP CO will click on the “Extend Project Date” button at the bottom of the page. This is equivalent to a “submit” information button.
• The OSPIP CO will receive an onscreen confirmation.  In addition, a confirmation e-mail will be immediately sent to the OSPIP Contracts Officer and at the same time a copy is sent to the Principal Investigator, the NIH Program Manager and the NIH Grants Management Specialist for the award.
• Once everything is completed, the OSPIP CO will update the RAPID/Maintain Award/Award Modification Page. Please see RAPID OSPIP Award Generation and Management for guidance.
  • The extension will be authorized and the SPAA generated:
    • Attached to the SPAA will be a copy of the NIH eRA Confirmation of the Extension and the PI’s original request.
    • The SPAA and attachments will be distributed by email to the PI, Divisional Staff, Accounts Receivable (ARHelp@lbl.gov), and Budget Office.
