I tell my grant writers that we have developed a culture of expected
perfection in how a grant is written and presented (thanks to our word
processing prowess).   Therefore, all error, no matter how small,
reflects on the competency of the writer.  Under those circumstances,
since you have the time to do so, I certainly would resubmit replacing
the first submission.  But that is my personal prejudice and certainly
isn't everyone's

Subject: [RESADM-L] Grants.gov submission for NIH proposal

Yesterday, Michigan Tech submitted a proposal to NIH via grants.gov
for the AREA solicitation.  The proposal was accepted by eRA
Commons.  When the PI reviewed the grant image in Commons, he noticed
a misquote in the introduction, a structure error, a figure error and
some typos.

Is this an acceptable reason for us to reject the application and
resubmit since it is prior to the submission deadline (6/25/06)?  I
have contacted NIH but I have not heard back from them yet.

Thank you in advance for your help.
