Body of Text:
For SO (cc: to Person to Be Contacted):
NIH has received an electronic application for <PI name>. You will be able to view and/or print the entire assembled application on the eRA Commons by choosing the Status tab, using the Grants.gov tracking number or other criteria to search for the application and selecting the Application ID link (e.g., AN12345). You will find the eApplication and any associated cover letter or appendices in the Other Relevant Documents section of the Status Information screen.
Please review the assembled application within the next two business days (i.e., Monday-Friday; excluding federal holidays). If the application is acceptable, no action is required. If the application does not correctly reflect your submission (e.g., missing or garbled text), you can stop it from moving forward. To stop the application, click on the ‘Reject eApplication’ link on the Status hitlist. You will be asked to include comments; these comments will be included in an e-mail that will be sent to the PI, with a copy to you. Once corrections have been made, the entire corrected application can be submitted (select the ‘Changed/Corrected Application’ Type of Submission) through Grants.gov.
If you do not explicitly stop the application within two business days, the submission will be complete and it will automatically move to the referral process. Once the application has moved to referral, all subsequent corrections must be addressed through the 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).
