For NSF proposals, I generally prefer to submit in research.gov because it’s easier (especially where there are senior personnel who need to be off the budget) – but I’m surprised that Cayuse wasn’t catching the effort issue – I routinely get warnings like that for NIH proposals.
As to the section headings, that’s something I always check before the document goes wherever it goes – those must be on separate lines and exactly in the format specified by the PAPPG, or the algorithm simply won’t find them.

The best way to get in touch with me continues to be via email: I am working a hybrid schedule.
Oakland University resides on the ancestral, traditional, and contemporary lands of the Anishinaabe, known as the Three Fires Confederacy, composed of the Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi. The land was ceded in the 1807 Treaty of Detroit and makes up southeast Michigan.

Subject: [RESADM-L] Universities that use Cayuse and Research.gov submitting errors
Good afternoon,
I was interested in getting feedback from other Universities that use the Cayuse software system to submit grants to grants.gov.
With Fastlane being phased out, my office has found many errors that Cayuse is not catching when trying to submit grants that will be picked up by research.gov. We submit to grants.gov. When research.gov tries to pick it up, it errors out with tedious issues such as the following:
Project Summary
- Your file does not include the required document section heading(s) of [Overview, Intellectual Merit, Broader Impacts]
- The Project Summary has not been provided and is required before submission
Budget(s)
- An individual identified in the senior personnel category needs months entered (Cleveland State University: Year 1, 2)
To add insult to injury, the fixes must be done directly in research.gov. They cannot be fixed in Cayuse and resubmitted.
Cayuse help desk told me the issue is not Cayuse but rather happening during communication from grants.gov to research.gov. Unacceptable answer as their software is useless if it can’t catch the errors.
Does any Cayuse users out there have any input they can offer to me?
Thank you.
Sincerely,
M. Therese Kocevar, CRA
