We have 4 AREA grants that are still in limbo because of the following error message that everyone seems to be receiving:
Indirect Cost Funds Requested for budget year 1 must equal the product of Indirect Cost Rate and Indirect Cost Base for the same year- Error
On February 27th , the NIH emailed us and told us they would downgrade this error to a warning so that these applications could move forward and be verified. To date, this does not appear to have occurred. We have resubmit these applications at least 2-3 times since Feb 27th but still no change.
Has anyone had success getting this particular error changed to a warning? Does anyone know for sure how long we have to get this resolved?
