I disagree.  There are two separate time frames--an "error correction window" and a separate "application viewing window.  Thus, we have a total of four days, but only the first two can be used to correct errors/warnings.  The second two are to be used to correct graphics, formatting etc errors.  If this were not the case, why have a second two day window.

Please see excerpt below:

When does the "error correction window" clock start ticking?

After January 8, the "error correction window" will be the two business
days (Mon.-Fri., excluding Federal holidays) that follow the receipt
deadline of the Funding Opportunity Announcement. For example, if your
receipt deadline is Tuesday, February 5, 2008, then the "error
correction window" begins on Wednesday, February 6 and ends at 5:00 p.m.
local time on Thursday, February 7.

Does this change effect how much time I have to view my application in
eRA Commons?

No. The "error correction window" comes into play before you have an
assembled application. The two business day "application viewing window"
to check your assembled application in eRA Commons remains unchanged.

Can I still use the "error correction window" to address identified
Warnings if my application is assembled and placed in eRA Commons?

Yes. This practice has not changed. To ensure you have one and only one
application go forward, it is best to Reject the current assembled
application and then submit your corrected application. This is
especially important if you are changing PD/PI or application title
information.

The two day viewing/error correction window is one and the same.  In other
words, once your application is available in eRA Commons you have two days
to view it and, if necessary, correct any errors and/or warnings.

Anytime you submit an application after the due date you MUST include a
cover letter.

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?

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.
