Awardee Portal

Your LRP Participant Portal is now in your eRA Commons account

This portal provides LRP awardees with a comprehensive snapshot of their LRP award. The portal displays a listing of loans, past and future payments, and status of their quarterly service and research verifications (which are completed by the awardee's research supervisor) and provides a platform to interact with DLR regarding updates and changes to their LRP award.

Each time an LRP payment is made on an awardee’s behalf, awardees are required to upload documentation to verify that the LRP payment was successfully credited to their loan account. After receiving an email prompt, awardees log into the Participant Portal via a “View Portal” Action link in the Status module. For each loan, they use the “Actions” button to upload documents, and they can also view previously uploaded documents.

To ensure the security of your eRA account, we are phasing in the requirement to use two-factor authentication (using Login.gov or a qualified InCommon Federated account). All scientific account holders (e.g., LRP applicants, referees, and mentors) should take action now to ensure continued access to their accounts, while administrative account holders (e.g., IBOs) who hold more than one account will be required to move to two-factor authentication in early 2024. Learn more about when you need to make the transition and what steps you should take when using Login.gov or InCommon Federated accounts.
