eSNAP Guidance
The University of Chicago submits eSNAP applications via the NIH eRA Commons system. eSNAP, the electronic Streamlined Non-competing Award Process, is a component of the NIH eRA Commons. eSNAP allows extramural grantee institutions to submit an electronic version of a Type 5 (non-competitive) progress report to the grants management community via a web interface. Principal Investigators and Administrators working on eSNAP applications must have active NIH eRA Commons User Account (An account is identified by a unique combination of username and password).
Below you will find various University of Chicago and NIH items related to the eSNAP preparation and submission process. Additional information may be obtained from the NIH eRA Commons Support Page.
To obtain a Commons User Account, please contact the University’s NIH eRA Commons Account Administrator (AA) in URA at era-help@ura.uchicago.edu. You will be required to provide the name of the person needing the account, their email address (you must use a *uchicago.edu email address), and whether the account is for an administrator or a principal investigator.
If you experience any difficulty with the NIH Commons, please DO NOT call the Help Desk yourself. Contact the University’s NIH eRA Commons AA at era-help@ura.uchicago.edu for assistance.
