Redesigned Website The NIH has announced that they are planning to launch the newly redesigned eRA website on Tuesday, April 30, 2019. The new design is based on a year-long survey of eRA website users. It focuses on intuitive navigation, improved accessibility (508 compliance), more convenient access to Commons, ASSIST and IAR (Internet Assisted Review), while providing critical new and updated “how-to” information. The launch will require downtime of about 2 hours. As a result, the existing eRA website will not be available between 6:30 a.m. ET and 8:30 a.m. ET on Tuesday, April 30. Note that the eRA modules will continue to be operational during the downtime and can be accessed through the following URLs: • eRA Commons: https://public.era.nih.gov/commons • ASSIST: https://public.era.nih.gov/ASSIST • IAR: https://public.era.nih.gov/IAR ovpr.uconn.edu ovpr.uchc.edu
