Re: How to get rid of the required yellow fields for NIH application/ Senior/Key Person page Bob Beattie 22 Jul 2009 10:57 EST
Janet's suggestion is a possible "kludge" for the Grants.gov giant bug in the system, but when I have suggested this, the Research staff have said that the PI did not want such a sloppy looking form. If anyone does this, the attached "biosketch" page should explain what is being done, or the agency might think you forgot something. I have suggested that you just state the problem and what you did. Still, isn't it pretty sad that we have to do all this or a new form to make up for an error that General Dynamics IT should just fix. I strongly urge everyone who uses Grants.gov to submit a An Applicant Enhancement Form. get it here http://www07.grants.gov/agencies/applicant_user_feedback.jsp Use some text like below for Item 1 " This is a request that you fix a SERIOUS ERROR in the Key Person form. Allow for the removal of Key Persons, including just one such person. Or allow for the removal of an accidental picking of Role on Project. There should be an option for an empty field for this element. Otherwise, once a role is picked it cannot be removed. Then, the entire form must be redone." Item 2: "Fixing this serious error by GDIT will keep users from redoing a whole form." Same for Item 3. If a couple hundred users send in such forms, I would like to know how they can avoid fixing.

There is no reset button, and I checked all the fields, and click on delete and also backspace in each fields. However, I was not able to clear out the yellow fields.
