Purpose
The Electronic Research Administration (ERA) Committee provides guidance for and support of eRA needs. We are a programmatic committee reporting directly to the FDP Executive Committee (see Organizational Chart). The eRA Committee identifies opportunities to reduce faculty and administrator burden in areas of electronic processes and communications with federal agencies. In addition, we inform the federal e-grants activities by providing institutional input and support to the development of improved electronic interfaces between the government and the research community. We also explore the use of technology for FDP committees and workgroups to enhance and facilitate communication and planning.
