eRA Information: Use of Internet Explorer for eRA Modules
to be Phased Out by July 19, 2021

As originally announced by Microsoft, support of Internet Explorer 11 (IE) will be discontinued for Microsoft 365 applications and services by August 17, 2021.

Due to security and interoperability concerns, eRA will phase out the use of IE for eRA all modules by July 19, 2021. As of that date, eRA systems will no longer be available when using the IE browser.

We are providing this advance notice so that you have time to switch to other supported browsers such as Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari (and Microsoft Edge once IE is phased out), when using eRA systems (see eRA’s Browser Compatibility statement).

We will provide additional reminders and information as the phaseout date approaches.

Note: If users experience an issue with an eRA module after a release, they should completely clear out their browser cache, which will generally resolve the issue. If not, please contact the eRA Service Desk.
