OK, I'm going to chime in too. I have been on hold for 70 minutes trying to
talk to a real person at "support at grants.gov".
Has anybody else had the following problem? I submitted a grant application
today via grants.gov and it did not go through twice. On the third try, I
got a confirmation. Then I got four emails stating that two applications
were received and validated. For the application for which I received a
confirmation, I got a receipt email but then a rejection - stating that the
file contained a virus. The only application that actually was confirmed by
grants.gov as submitted was rejected.
I'm trying to figure out if the other two applications are complete -- and if
so, how do I delete one of them?
Over a week ago we had a similar problem where an application showed up as
two different applications with different tracking numbers. I called twice
and left two voicemail messages and emailed grants.gov to try to determine
what was going on. I have yet to hear from anyone there. They are still
showing up as separate submissions on grants.gov.
How do you folks ever manage to get a real person to talk to you at
grants.gov? A better grants.gov response team might help, especially when
we're facing a deadline.
Thanks.
Carole
