Send a message to the Council on Government Relations (COGR) - they have
a strong voice with gubment.

The Department of Health and Human Services has gone too far.  First, we
had to deal with NIH and ERA Commons.  Now we have to deal with HRSA and
EHB.

Using grants.gov was supposed to simplify things, because we'd use one
application system and not have to learn separate ones.  With HHS, we're
using grants.gov and needing to register and learn different electronic
systems for each division...systems that are incredibly un-user-friendly
and have woefully inadequate support services.

It seems that HHS is violating the basic principle behind having
grants.gov in the first place.

My question:  What's the best way to make our dissatisfaction known
given the apparent way HHS is implementing use of grants.gov?

Hi,

On a Nurse Traineeship UNH submitted to HRSA we received notice that it
was in EHB to review. We went in to review and in most cases we had to
re-confirm most of all the information that was in the electronic
application!

Two areas of concern:

The PI is listed in three different areas of the application and in each
instance I had to include the street number and mailing address to
remove the "incomplete" notice for that form. This defeats the whole
reason for electronic administration and UNH does not normally use
street numbers and names, mostly building names.

The other problem was none of the information provide in the required
tables was carried over from the application. I had to go into each
table and update them manually.

Here is hoping HRSA can look at the EHB system and make some much needed
revisions.

And by the way I have emailed the help desk twice and left two messages
for support and as of today I have received no response. Yesterday both
phone numbers were busy all day so I could not leave a voice message so
I sent another email.  All corrections are due in one week so timely
follow up would be appreciated.

Andy

OMG, I finally got the AENT grant submitted to HRSA through the
Electronic Handbook and you have to fill in all sorts of information,
like 5 yr worth of  budget dates and make sure they match the budget
dates on the face page.  Anyone else have another solution to getting
the application complete for submission?  I did work with the call
center, Karen Breeden at HRSA AENT and the technical assistance folks to
get this completed.

I spoke with HRSA last week as we too had not gotten the email from them
regarding the next phase of the application.  I was told they had just
started processing or were just about to start processing.  This was
around Thursday, Feb 15th.  From what I understand, the 2nd phase is not
due until Feb 26 and the mailing of the signed face page isn't due until
5 days after you get the verification of successful submission of the
2nd phase.

I think they may just have been inundated and with the weather, very
very very shorthanded.
