Electronic Research Administration (ERA), in the generic sense, is simply doing research administration electronically. It encompasses everything from using EDI to submit grant proposals to creating a word template to print a funding agency's form. ERA is building a home page for a sponsored research office or utilizing the web to find out about a grant application. ERA incorporates listservs, searching for funding opportunities, making publications available electronically, and faculty profile databases. ERA is FastLane, GAMS, COS, Edison, EFT, InfoEd, ScienceWise, IRIS, TRAM, and so much more.

ERA is the Future: The future of not only research administration, but the future of commerce as a whole.
