NIH Commons complaint Charlie Hathaway 09 May 2007 10:55 EST

We all recently discussed changes we'd like to see/demand in the new Adobe product that will replace PureEdge.   But has PureEdge caused agency systems to make mistakes?

While the NIH Commons still stands near the top of agency-controlled eRA grant management tools (most don't have any), there seems to be a continuing problem with the reporting of proposal errors by Commons:  not every error is detected and/or reported at the initial scan.  Example: submission comes back with single error of a single Word doc attachment.  Corrected and resubmitted proposal comes back with a new error for Intro longer than 1 page (R21).  Note: the Intro was NOT the source of the original non-pdf problem.

Does anyone know if NIH is dealing with this?  Is it PureEdge related?
