As it is now past the deadline (July 5), the Grants.gov number and original submission date should be referenced in the cover letter, along with the changes that were made for the re-submission of this grant. This is a "reason for consideration" as to why the grant is technically late. As all of the July 5 grants are renewals are resubmissions of an earlier grant proposal, they should include the NIH core grant number as the Federal Identifier. As I said in a previous response, we received an error in the Commons when we used the grants.gov number on the second try of a submission. Here is the actual error message: "Federal Identifier format (SF 424 RR Cover page) is not valid. Please include only the IC and serial number of the prior grant number (e.g., CA123456).- Error" Sherie PS: If this was a re-submission of a grant marked new (that was the June 5 round), then the grants.gov number would be in the federal identifier field.

Are you saying that for a corrected/changed submission...if you correct/change the same application, say 5 times, the original grants.gov tracking number (THE FIRST CORRECTED/CHANGED #) should be recorded in the Federal Identifier field? Have I been doing it wrong?? Bob, where are you? Am I wrong? And if I'm wrong does it matter?

The time stamp generated by the first submission is our saving grace for corrections. Therefore, any initial submission would not include any number in that field. Any correction submission(s) would only include the g.g tracking # to maintain the first time stamp. Elsewhere in the document there should be a place for the agency number to go for all agencies. There is simply a struggle here with time stamp importance vs. agency reference number importance. We understand that both are important but we really need to separate them to make our lives easier and reduce confusion in the community.

But, when submitting a change/corrected application many times, I always use the preceeding g.g tracking #. If before deadline any change they want to make I'll do. Haven't run up against anything after deadline.

So the correct answer to my question below, is no where :) Also, always reject an accepted "imaged" application, before you submit a corrected (or perhaps just changed) version. This is the safest procedure, even though the system might automatically replace with a new version. Do grants office staff allow PI's to make cosmetic and other non- error-fixing changes to imaged applications PRIOR to the deadline, or do you only reject and accept a new one if there is an error/ problem. Do you use different criteria if after the deadline?
