VERA soft launch phase 2 begins Nov. 1

Phase two of the soft launch of the Vanderbilt Electronic Research Administration software will begin on Nov. 1.

As of Nov. 1:

  • All proposals due to a sponsor on or after Nov. 1 must be routed for administrative approvals through VERA.
  • NIH proposals due on or after Nov. 1 may be submitted system-to-system through VERA. Non-system-to-system proposals may be created in VERA for these submissions if you prefer to submit them through NIH Assist.
  • SPA specialists will begin to review routed proposals in VERA beginning Monday, Oct. 25.
  • Proposals due in November or beyond may be created in VERA now.

As a reminder, users can log in to VERA using their VUnetID and password at vera.vanderbilt.edu.
