Charlie, indeed NIH is allowing a 5 day window to make corrections
during this time of transition from A forms to B forms, but is that
not time to make corrections to applications that did NOT get into the
Commons due to errors.  I thought the question from Peter concerned
the time for PI's to make corrections AFTER the application gets into
the Commons.  The time that the SO has to reject the accepted
application and the PI does a new submission.

So I there are two issues.  How much change can a PI make while fixing
errors that prevented the application from getting into the Commons in
the first place, during the 5 day grace period and what changes can a
PI make to an accepted application that is rejected before the 2 day
window when the application would go to Review?

Actually, they are allowing 5 days now.

As to your question: I will take the 5th and remind you that you want
proposals to be funded and in the absence of any (?) evidence that NIH
is
taking the considerable time necessary to compare versions of submitted
proposals to check for corrections in spelling, grammar, and YES,
inconsistencies, I'd imagine that a lot of people will submit
changed/corrected applications that are possible not responding entirely
to errors identified by the govt.  I'd like to think that institutions
are
NOT allowing PIs to plan on abusing the deadline, and use the correction
window for major edits or additions.  But fixing small mistakes that
might
otherwise prevent a reviewer from realizing the genius and potential
in a
project? Aren't those corrctions in everyone's best interest?
