I called grants.gov on Tuesday because we had not received validation on a proposal submitted Friday. Grants.gov submitted a research request and we received validation late last night. Unfortunately, we had errors and just submitted a Changed/Corrected Application. We are now waiting for validation on this. Keep your fingers crossed for us.

I, too, was pleasantly surprised at the smoothness of submission through Grants.gov. We submitted about 50-60 challenge applications all using the Adobe forms with very few problems. We prepared faculty and staff early, warning of possible Grant.gov difficulties, and provided many resources on our website. Most of our applications were submitted by 4/24, with a few stragglers on the 27th. Our biggest problem was keeping the different instructions clear between the competitive revisions, administrative supplements and challenge grants, many of which were in progress at the same time. We are still awaiting ultimate arrive in the Commons for most of them, but we were prepared for that delay. After the many challenges we've faced with Grants.gov, I am impressed with how well it held up under the submission onslaught! Suzan G.

It wasn*t so fun for us * we had only one that was really at the wire and I sat and submitted over and over from 3:30 until 5 with no success.

I totally agree * I was pleasantly surprised by the relative ease with which I could submit my Challenge proposals * my colleagues and I submitted close to 150, and very few came right down to the wire, which was amazing. But I didn*t have any time outs, not an instance where I hit the save and submit button and then nothing happened. Everything went through quickly and within Adobe * didn*t have to drag it or open the file in IE first * and got the confirmation page fast and the first receipt e-mail immediately afterward. So that part when much better than I expected. The part that was awful was and is waiting and waiting for the validation and other e-mails and the proposals to show up in eCommons so that we can check for errors and warnings.

Hi folks. Feel free to reply on list of off. I've no particular plans to write about this; I'm just curious, for now--feeling things out. I've been following the posts by people who are waiting--nervously--for confirmation that their Challenge Grant proposals were successfully submitted. I wish you al l the best. But apart from that, did anything fail? Did the system crash? Did things go completely haywire at any point? Given the problems people have had with G.g, some where predicting total collapse. Seems to me that didn't happen. Would you agree or disagree?
