  7. Two Ways to Complete Grants.gov Applications #1 Adobe • Search and download forms direct from Grants.gov • Complete forms • Attach to eGC1 and route • OSP will upload and submit your application • Errors and warning messages provided by OSP

  8. Two Ways to Complete Grants.gov Applications #2 SAGE Grant Runner • Complete the forms directly in SAGE (combined with eGC1) • Route for campus approvals • OSP submits application with a click of a button • Errors and warning messages appear in eGC1 History & Comments

  9. Getting Started • NIH’s system is called ERA Commons. • In order to apply to NIH, every PI (or grad student) must have an active account in Commons. • Contact your Department Administrator to request an NIH Commons login account.
