Electronic Sponsored Research Administration System  News and Schedules

 

eSRA is the new enterprise system being developed for electronic submittal and tracking of proposals as well as non-financial award management.  When fully developed, it will replace RAPID for managing sponsored research proposals at LBNL.  It will provide many features not available in existing systems. The development team of OSPIP, BSA, IT, and the Huron Consulting Group is working to provide a time-saving and easy to use system that also ensures compliance with all applicable policies and procedures.

 

Contact eSRAHelp@lbl.gov for more information or to schedule training.

 

eSRA Training is being provided as needed.  See the rollout schedule below.  Written guides are available at eSRA Training.  If you need training during this startup period someone from the eSRA Development Team will work with you individually until formal training classes are available.  Resource Analysts developing proposals should take advantage of this one-on-one training.  PIs and Division Reviewers can have individual training in person, or by phone.
