Liz,
Page I-45 of the Word version of the NIH Grants.gov guide says
we do not enter the FWA before the number.
Just enter 00000598

Subject: [RESADM-L] Grants.gov, NIH, and FWA number

> I'm a grateful reader of RESADM-L, but I virtually never contribute.  Now
> I have a problem I'm hoping some of you can help me solve.  I sent the
> message below to OHRP, with a cc to the support addresses of both
> Grants.gov and NIH and am waiting to get a response.  Do any of you
> Grants.gov experienced folks have an answer for me?
>
> My institution has an FWA number of FWA00000598 (11 characters).  I am in
> the process of preparing an NIH AREA application using Grants.gov, and
> I've run into a problem.  When we try to enter the FWA number in the
> Grants.gov form called "Research and Related Other Project Information",
> we find that the place to enter that number can accommodate only10
> characters, not the 11 in our number.  I don't know if this is a glitch in
> the Grants.gov form, but I'd appreciate your advice about how to enter the
> number in the application so we won't run into a problem at submission
> (which is scheduled to happen within a week).
>
> I don't want to run the risk of having the application be rejected when it
> goes to NIH for validation -- I have no idea if the FWA number gets
> checked as part of that process.  Thanks for your help.
