Application Submission System & Interface for Submission Tracking ASSIST  
The Application Submission System & Interface for Submission Tracking (ASSIST) is a web-based system used to prepare applications using the SF424 Research & Related form set and to submit electronically through Grants.gov to NIH and other participating agencies.

ASSIST allows participants to do the following:

  • Leverage current eRA Commons credentials to access ASSIST
  • Delegate application preparation responsibilities to multiple users within and outside the applicant organization while maintaining appropriate access control and security
  • Populate data from established eRA Commons profiles
  • Run validations on federal-wide and agency business rules prior to submission
  • Generate Table of Contents, headers, footers, page numbers, etc. automatically
  • Print/Preview applications prior to submission in the format used by the agency
  • Present to reviewers clear, color PDF images rather than scanned versions of the application
  • Avoid the hassle of preparing and shipping multiple paper copies
ASSIST can support both single-project and multi-project (also known as multi-component or complex) applications with features presented differently depending on the type of application, as determined by the entered Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA).
