Welcome to the PennERA web site. Here you will find information on both the PennERA and PennERS projects, as well as the most current developments on these project initiatives. You will also be able to access available applications from this site. Keep in mind, both of these projects have multiple components, which means some applications may not be available yet and/or accessibility to applications may be restricted.

Use the left toolbar to find information on the applications. Applications that are clickable in the menu are available and those that are grayed out will be released in later phases of the projects. For quick access to available applications, click the "LOGON" link in the top or left toolbar.

Penn's Electronic Research Administration system, or PennERA, is the suite of web-based applications that streamline processes and provide more efficient tools for handling pre- and post award administrative tasks related to the sponsored projects of Penn's academic research community. PennERA is a full life-cycle system for research project development, support, and management. For background information and information about completed and upcoming activities, see the PennERA project web site at http://project.pennera.upenn.edu/project/.

Penn's Effort Reporting System, or PennERS, is an initiative designed to increase awareness of the regulatory requirements and provide better technological tools to meet the effort reporting needs of Penn's research community. PennERS is currently in the development phase, so no applications are available at this time. For project information, see the PennERS overview page at http://project.pennera.upenn.edu/pennERS/.

To obtain access to available PennERA applications, please review the "Access and Forms" section of the web site for general information and authorization forms.
