Hi all, I just submitted a validation request (Excel spreadsheet) on Federalreporting.gov and got the following error: 1st Quarterly Report.xls: failed on validation as follows 1, Error Code: VALUE_REQUIRED, Error Message: Infrastructure Purpose and Rationale is required. This field was left blank (not applicable) on all the reports I submitted yesterday and I did not get an error message upon validation. Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks. One more question, that I thought I had resolved: I was interpreting job creation to be when a person was actually hired, but we have a PI who says her grant has created x of this, y of that, etc., and they haven't all been hired. Technically, the jobs have been created; they just haven't been filled yet. How are you handling this? Once the job is actually filled are you calling it created/retained? I still think that's the correct way to go. -----Original Message----- From: Research Administration List [mailto:xxxxxx@hrinet.org] On Behalf Of Lesley Zajac Sent: Monday, October 05, 2009 1:56 PM To: xxxxxx@hrinet.org Subject: Re: [RESADM-L] ARRA Reporting- are you including grants awarded Sept 38-30? I had an ARRA awarded on 9/30/09 and I sent in a report showing zero expenditures, zero vendors, zero subcontracts etc., but with all the other information filled in. It passed validation, and I have not had any communication other than the confirmation. Lesley S.

I thought this was a very straightforward no, because we have had no expenditures on a couple of supplements awarded last week, but NIH is probably going to want to account for money obligated by the 30th, so now I'm not sure. We can put zeros for jobs created/retained, $0 spent, but fill in all the other information, which we'll have to do for the January report. Needless to say, I'd much prefer not to worry about these late arrivals for this report. Are you including grants awarded last week, even the week before that, if there haven't been any expenditures? Although the agency may send us an award notice, it takes us a couple of days to set up the grant account, and then a few days for the PI to get rolling. Is the cut-off date indeed Sept. 30 for grants awarded? Thanking you in advance for your wisdom.
