About electronic Report Deliverable Submission - Internal
NLM has implemented a new process for electronic submission of contract deliverables. The electronic Report Deliverable Submission - Internal (eRDS - Internal) is one component of NLM’s integrated, secure system for the electronic submission, capture, tracking and review of NLM contract deliverables. eRDS-Internal was developed for the purposes of streamlining our contract proposal submission and review processes, preparing for the eventual elimination of paper submissions, and reducing costs associated with storage of large paper files.
Benefits to the research community:
- Easy-to-locate active NLM contracts
- Reduced costs for printing and mailing of paper files
- Eliminate security risk of paper processing and transportation time
- Real-time feedback on transmission success
Benefits to the NIH Acquisition Offices:
- Single source for all contract deliverable submissions
- Reduced costs for storing large paper files
- Enhanced security with electronic files
- Reduced processing and review time
