Originally when g.g was implemented it only accepted a 9 digit number.  That just recently changed to 12.  But as I stated in my last e-mail, I received a warning and error that disappeared after I deleted the alpha and 1 at the end of our EIN.

 

 

 

Angela, for NIH grants, the EIN # is usually more than 9 digits – ours is 12 (including alpha characters).

I will put my two cents in for complaints.  The problem that we experienced is our EIN #.  Even though it was 9 digits, Commons saw it as not being long enough.

 

We submitted it three times and still the same thing error came up, among other things.

Hi Folks,
I submitted an R01 through G.g yesterday and today got an error message from eCommons that there was no personnel data entered for the PI/PD in year 3 of the detailed budget.  I checked, and of course there was, because the PI's information gets autofilled from the SF424 form - and you cannot alter it even if you wanted to.  I called the eCommons helpdesk and they were stumped.  It's been a few hours since they opened my help desk ticket with no results and I'm getting antsy.  Has anyone else gotten this error before, and if so, what was the solution?  I'm half tempted to submit the corrected application (there were other errors) hoping that it was just a system glitch, before even getting feedback from the help desk.
 
Impatiently yours,
Kris
