Be on the lookout for the new Prior Names section, which will appear under Name and ID in the Personal Profile module today, September 8, following an eRA Commons release. The new feature lets users better manage name changes in the Commons.
The module will remain available during the release. To see the new section, go to Personal Profile and click the Edit button (pencil icon) for the Name and ID section.
To help you get familiar with the new screen before launch, see the topic titled Name and ID in online help.

The eRA Commons Personal Profile
module will soon offer the option to enter, view and edit Prior Names in the Name and ID section. This lets users specify other names they have used professionally in the past (such as maiden, married names, etc.), so that their award data and career progress can be better maintained and tracked in eRA Commons. The Prior Names section will only be made accessible for NIH official use when completing reporting requirements and will not be shared.
The new Prior Names feature will be rolled out on Wednesday, September 8.
