Don't we have the two day period after error corrections are done to view the package and make and format/typo/graphics changes?

Subject: [RESADM-L] NIH gets tough with corrections

NIH now says we only have a 2 day post deadline correction window and
all corrections must be in response to errors/warnings.  The latter
idea is, as far as I know, appearing in an actual NIH Guide notice
for the first time.  This suggests that there may be some
enforcement.  So...what do you say to the PI who discovers that his
error free/ warning free application sitting on Commons has an ugly
misspelling in the title or abstract?  Or attached the wrong references!!??

Question: Is there any difference between what constitutes an
acceptable "correction" BEFORE the deadline vs AFTER the deadline?

The spirit behind NOT-OD-08-018 seems to be the desire to speed up
the process of getting proposals to review.  Thus, perhaps the real
focus here is on shenanigans during the post-deadline
period.  Certainly, the requirement to actually identify your errors
and warnings being corrected only applies to cover letters in
applications submitted after the deadline.
