eSNAP, the electronic Streamlined Non-competing Award Process, is a component of the NIH eRA Commons website located at http://commons.era.nih.gov/commons.  To be able to use the NIH eRA Commons you must be registered as a user.  Contact the UND Research Development & Compliance Office for information about registering.

To access the eSNAP page, go to the NIH eRA Commons website and log in using your Username and Password. Once you have successfully logged in, click on the eSNAP tab located towards the top of the page.  This tab takes you to the Manage eSNAP page.  The Manage eSNAP page is used to view the eSNAP reports to which you have access and lets you select an eSNAP report in order to perform various actions upon it.

One of the features of the Streamlined Non-competing Award Process (SNAP) is the ability to submit a streamlined annual progress report. eSNAP provides the ability for eligible grantee institutions to electronically submit SNAP progress reports through the eRA Commons.

NIH is the only agency that uses the eSNAP concept as currently designed in the Commons.

Here is step-by-step documentation on how to complete and submit your eSNAP Report:

For additional information on eSNAP, please review the eSNAP user guide:

Keep in mind that if you are using the eSNAP to electronically prepare and submit your progress report, do not use the PHS2590 fillable form pages for any file uploads. Text inserted into the fillable form pages is not saved once the progress report is submitted to NIH.
