  5. Current actions to assure data quality • Due diligence when registering organizations • More and more checks when application comes into eRA from Grants.gov • Work with eRA CRMs when the source of incorrect data can be traced to a specific eRA module

  6. Future changes coming to assist in quality of data • NIH Office of the Enterprise Architect project to standardize external organization registration (Enrollment of Vendors and Grantees) • Use of CCR data where possible • Federated Authentication – should reduce potential for duplicate profiles • Project to determine top sources of data corruption and prioritization for their correction with eRA management
