I think you can make changes to forms on the right. I have done this. You have to move them to the right only to remind yourself that you have finished. If people are worried that they might forget to move the forms to the right, do so when you first open the file and then work with them on the right.

Any suggestions? Other than screaming and eating lots of chocolate?

But, through trial and error (when calls to the NIH Commons Help Desk proved unhelpful), the following is what worked for us: - On the modular budget page, include any cents in your indirect costs calculation (i.e. direct costs of 136,528 x 45% = 61,437.60). - On the 424 face page, round down. (i.e. total costs of 150,000 + indirect costs of 61,437 = 211,437). We had success yesterday afternoon when applying this method. Good luck!

No one at NIH seems to know how to fix the problem. We cannot validate at eCOMMONS, because with errors you cannot submit. I will continue to update all with any info. I may have. I do know that the deadline for the R01 Grants has been extended due to similar problems. Brian D. Turner Assistant Administrator Sponsored Programs Administration P.O.

We have been trying since Friday to submit proposals to the NIH AREA grant program. The consistent error message says: Indirect Cost Funds Requested for budget year 1 must equal the product of Indirect Cost Rate and Indirect Cost Base for the same year-Error." To complete the PHS 398 Modular Budget form, we filled in the section for Budget Period 1, with the Direct Costs being the total modular amount requested for the entire period of the project; and then we completed the Indirect Costs section by multiplying our Salary & Wages indirect cost type times the actual figure of salaries and benefits for the entire project period, and then we rounded the resulting figure down to a whole number for the Indirect Funds Requested. My calls to the eRA Commons help line resulted in a suggestion to round the resulting number up or to use the actual cents as well as the dollars. Neither option worked. Now the eRA people have referred me to the NIH help line, and I am waiting for a call back. I am probably overlooking something very simple, but I'm becoming a bit frantic that our faculty members' proposals may not get submitted in time. Thank you all!
