Meegan, did you see this from NIH?  Hope it helps.

Q: Why did I receive the error message "The parent grant for a revision must
be awarded. The parent grant for this submission is not a funded grant." for
my competitive revision?

A: As indicated in the message, the most recent 'New' or competitive
'Renewal' application (known as the 'parent grant') must be in an awarded
status at the time the 'Revision' is submitted. Other related conditions can
also trigger this message. For example, if the proposed project dates of the
'Revision' fall outside the project start or end dates of the parent grant
the system will not find an awarded grant covering the proposed dates and
will throw the same error. If you receive this error and are unable to
determine the root cause, you should contact the eRA Commons Help Desk. Be
prepared to provide your Grants.gov tracking number (e.g., GRANT12345678)
and the Institute and Serial number of your prior NIH grant number (e.g.,
CA123456).

Subject: [RESADM-L] Competitive renewals

Hello,

Has anyone had any success in getting a competitive renewal into the
Commons? We keep getting the error:

 ERROR The parent grant for a revision must be awarded. The parent grant
 for this submission is not a funded grant.

The dates on the grant being submitted do not exceed the project period
dates for the parent grant, which is indeed awarded.

Thanks,
Meegan
