# NIH eRA Project Team Calendar

The NIH eRA project comprises more than 600 people working together to
develop an electronic grants application and tracking system, accessible
to the extramural community through the NIH eRA Commons and to the
intramural community through IMPAC II applications and tools.
Collaboration and communication are key in the success of any project.
This calendar provides a quick reference for the eRA Project Team for
the activities specific to the project. It provides an overview for
others of the complexity and numerous aspects of the project.
