Improperly "coded" applications Rich Chiriatti 10 Nov 2005 11:43 EST

Over the last two or three months, we have had pending applications that
don't show up under "status" in the Commons.  This is well after having
received the assignment letters and has happened with 5 or 6
applications.  After calling the Commons help desk, they do some
research and then tell me that NIH has "coded" the application
incorrectly.  They fix it quickly and all is well, but I was wondering
if this has happened to others out there.  More and more we are being
asked to rely on the Commons for information (especially on the back
end), so this can be problematic if the applications don't show up there.
