Re: Grants.gov DOWN UNTIL WED, 2/10? Holmberg, Janet 08 Feb 2010 16:55 EST
But is Grants.gov based in the DC area? If so, have their people even been able to get to work since Friday?

They promised to be down for 4 days, and I guess they are sticking to it. But now every submission will be a breeze! ----------------- Here is a message sent by NIH. There was also a big posting on the front page of Grants.gov site eRA Update: Grants.gov Downtime Planned for Feb. 6 - 9, 2010 January 13, 2010 We wanted to take this opportunity to inform you that Grants.gov will be offline from 12:01 a.m. (Eastern Time) on Feb. 6 until 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) on Feb. 9, in order to complete a major upgrade to the Grants.gov system. If you are working on an application intended for the Feb. 5 deadline, we encourage you, as always, to view the status of your on-time submission in eRACommons, which will be up and running normally during the Grants.gov downtime. Because of this downtime, on-time submission of any application intended for the Feb. 5 deadline is of the utmost importance. You will be able to take advantage of NIH's temporarily extended error- correction window to address any eRA system-identified errors/warnings in order to complete the submission process within five business days, by Feb. 12. You can find further information about the temporary extension of the error-correction window in the recently issued Guide Notice NOT-OD-10-042-"Error-Correction Window Extended for Electronic Applications Intended for Submission Deadlines On and Between January 25 and May 7, 2010." If you find that you are experiencing problems with Grants.gov or the eRA Commons that threaten the timely submission of your application or your ability to obtain the tracking number and timestamp necessary to verify on-time submission, please follow the directions and adhere to the policies outlined on the "Need Assistance?" page of the eSubmission Web site. eRA Communications Division of Communications and Outreach NIH Office of Extramural Research Bob ------------------------------ Robert Beattie University of Michigan xxxxxx@umich.edu (734) 936-1283 On Feb 8, 2010, at 4:28 PM, Elise Mills wrote: This is indeed a surprise - I knew there was some scheduled maintenance going on, but not that it would be down until Wednesday...
