Subject Line: Validations Complete/Check Assembled Application, Grants.gov Tracking Number <tracking number>, PI <PI name> - Warnings Only
Body of Text:
NIH has received the electronic application titled “<Project Title>” that was submitted through Grants.gov. One or more warnings have been generated for the application; these warnings will not block processing of the application. To view the warnings, log in to the eRA Commons at https://commons.era.nih.gov/commons/ with your username and password. Select the “Status” tab. Search for the application using the Grants.gov tracking number provided in the subject of this email. Select the Application ID link (e.g., AN12345) to see a list of all warnings associated with the application submission and to view the assembled application.
Please review the assembled application within the next two business days (i.e., Monday-Friday; excluding federal holidays). If you wish to go forward with the warnings, and the assembled application is acceptable, no action is required. If you wish to address the warnings, or the application does not correctly reflect your submission (e.g., missing or garbled text), the Signing Official (SO) has the authority to stop the application from moving forward. To stop the application, the SO should click on the ‘Reject eApplication’ link on the Status hitlist. The SO will be asked to include comments; these comments will be included in an e-mail that will be sent to the PI and to the SO. Once corrections have been made, the entire corrected application can be submitted (select the ‘Changed/Corrected Application’ Type of Submission) through Grants.gov.
If the SO does not explicitly stop the application within two business days, it will automatically move to the referral process. Once the application has moved to referral, all subsequent corrections must be addressed through your assigned Scientific Review Administrator.
Note that if the application correctly reflects your submission and you choose to stop the application from moving to referral, any subsequent application submissions that occur after the submission deadline will be subject to the late policy (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-05-030.html).
