Yes, I'm confused. How does the five day window (now two days) relate to
our two day viewing period?

Hypothetically - Does this mean if I submit a grant at 4:59 p.m. on
deadline day (and it clears grants.gov edits so I have the grants ID #)
but then errors out when it gets to NIH that I have two days to resubmit
it?  And THEN two days to view it (and resubmit it again if necessary)
to correct other "fatal" errors?

And in either, neither or both of those two instances in which I hit
"submit" after 5 p.m. on the deadline do I have to include a cover
letter?

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

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.
