99. 99 Warning from OSP  THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PD/PI DOES NOT END WITH SENDING THE PROPOSAL FILE TO OSP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

100. 100 Expected Turnaround Times Grants.gov response to an application submission – generally within hours, up to 2 weekdays. eRA Commons response to an application submission – generally within hours, up to 1 weekday. AOR and PI review of application image – within 2 weekdays of availability in eRA Commons.

101. 101 Validation Errors Once OSP signs and submits the proposal: If GRANTS.GOV validation finds errors, these errors must be corrected and the entire proposal must be resubmitted. If NIH Commons validation finds errors, these errors must be corrected and the entire proposal resubmitted through GRANTS.GOV. Warnings found in the Commons validation process may require correction as well. If errors/warnings result from anything other than a Grants.gov/Commons system problem, they must be corrected and the proposal resubmitted before the deadline or the proposal will be subject to the NIH late policy.

102. 102 Grants.gov Validations All Grants.gov mandatory fields have been completed. All mandatory documents have been completed and moved to the Completed Documents box (Submission List). Checks the DUNS #. Checks date format, email address format, and scans for viruses.

103. 103 Grants.gov Email Notifications Emails to AOR only. Submission Receipt – app received and is being validated. Rejection Notice – app is not validated because of Grants.gov errors. Submission Validation Receipt – app has been validated. Grantor Agency Retrieval Receipt – app has been retrieved by the agency. Agency Tracking Number – app has been assigned a tracking number by the grantor agency

104. 104 eRA Commons Validations After retrieval from Grants.gov, the eRA Commons system will: Apply the NIH validations. Detailed check vs. instructions in the application guide Validates against the instructions in the specific FOA For a detailed list of NIH validations: http://era.nih.gov/ElectronicReceipt/prepare_app.htm#5 http://era.nih.gov/ElectronicReceipt/prepare_app.htm#5 Assemble the grant image. Generate a Table of Contents. Include headers (PI name) & footers (page numbers) on all pages.

105. 105 Commons Email Notifications Emails to AOR and PD/PI: Validations Complete/Check Assembled Application OR Validations Complete/Check Assembled Application – Warnings Only OR Action Required: Errors and/or Warnings, Missing or Invalid Commons Username, System Error OR AOR has refused/rejected application (when assembled package is incorrect).

106. 106 Errors & Warnings Errors must be addressed before the application can move on to Referral. Warnings may be fixed at the applicant’s discretion but do not require action for the application to move on to referral. If the PI corrects any Warnings or Errors, contact the AOR. The AOR must submit the entire changed/corrected application again through Grants.gov.

107. 107 Warning from OSP Correction of system errors/warnings must be completed within two weekdays of submission. Any corrections made to the proposal other than for system errors/warnings or minor changes must be made before the deadline or the proposal will be considered a resubmission (formerly revision).

108. 108 Check Status in Commons: PD/PI 1. Click the Status tab to view the PI Status. 2. Find application that shows “eSubmission Error” in the Application Status column. 3. Follow the link on the Application ID to see specific Error/Warning messages.

112. 112 Application Image Be sure to review the entire application carefully! Your application is not considered received by NIH until you see the application image in the eRA Commons.

113. 113 Rejection by OSP The AOR has a two weekday viewing window to reject an application that has system formatting errors. If the application is not rejected within the two weekdays, it will automatically proceed to Receipt & Referral.

114. 114 Common Submission Errors Missing Commons UserID. Information in PD/PI’s Commons profile does not match information in proposal. PDF issues. Start date for budget year 1 ≠ proposed project start date. Total cost ≠ sum of direct and indirect costs. Both modular and detailed budgets included. Missing PI/PD info on detailed budget page.

115. 115 Required Items for Subawards NYU as Prime Applicant (in addition to NYU proposal & synopsis) Subawardee scope of work Subawardee budget (full detailed budget if modular) Consortium agreement letter signed by subawardee’s authorized official/individual (email, scanned letter, etc) NYU as Subawardee Signed synopsis form Scope of work NIH budget page(s) (full detailed budget if modular) NYU Cooperating Institution form (NIH) http://www.nyu.edu/osp/proposal. html http://www.nyu.edu/osp/proposal. html Copy of full proposal submitted by the prime (after submission if necessary)
