Although a limited sample, we have submitted about 15 applications
via NIH's own electronic system eCGAP using software developed by
Cayuse, Inc.  All of these were in the Commons, ready for view by the
PI and SO within an hour of submission.  We used the 2 day window for
correction option for some of these and the corrected version was
likewise there quickly.  We probably did 20 different submissions
with no problems on the NIH side.  The PI's wanted to correct some
things which is why we had multiple submissions.

I wonder what criteria will be allowed for re-submissions with the
Grants.Gov system?

haven't as yet had to use Commons to verify applications. If this is
happening to you, how will it effect an organization that has
submitted an NIH grant and needs to go into Commons within 2 days to
verify the application? Since the new instructions note that
"although the eRA will make every effort to send an email summarizing
download and validation results this method of notification cannot be
completely guaranteed..." So after reading your email - I'm afraid
that not only will I not receive an email telling me it's time to
verify, but I also won't see the proposal in Commons and know that
it's ready for verification. Now that just adds to my stress level!

Over the last two or three months, we have had pending applications that
don't show up under "status" in the Commons.  This is well after having
received the assignment letters and has happened with 5 or 6
applications.  After calling the Commons help desk, they do some
research and then tell me that NIH has "coded" the application
incorrectly.  They fix it quickly and all is well, but I was wondering
if this has happened to others out there.  More and more we are being
asked to rely on the Commons for information (especially on the back
end), so this can be problematic if the applications don't show up
there.
