I have seen this error due to decimal values in dollar amounts
$5000.76  for example.  Check all dollar fields for non-integers.

If the errors relate to years that are not in the budget,  double
check that there are no values in any of the fields in those extra
years.  It is possible for a year 5 to have data, but no data in year
4.  Fill in year 4 and look at year 5.  You cannot see year 5 if
there is no data in year 4.  Once in year 5, delete it.  Then delete
year 4.  That will leave only data for year 1-3.

Stephanie,

I think this is a grants.gov false error. Bob Beattie will know. Have
you tried just resubmitting? The false errors – if that is what they
are – seem to be hit or miss, here on this submission, absent on the
next.

Subject: [RESADM-L] Validation errors

I just hit submit on a 3 year modular Grants.gov/NIH adobe proposal
and received 12 errors (pasted below) regarding years 4 & 5 on the
modular budget form.

For all the years I have been doing this I never filled out any
modular years other than the ones I need funding for and am stumped
as to how to go about “fixing” this.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks

Stephanie
