Why does Grants.gov say the application has been validated but then I receive error or warning messages from the eRA Commons?
NIH utilizes a two-step submission process. When Sponsored Programs submits your proposal to Grants.gov, Grants.gov completes a validation check for basic business rules that have been established to be in common for all 26 Federal grant-making agencies. These business rules include data elements such as our legal name, DUNS number, and IRS Employee Identification Number. Once these basic rules have been reviewed and determined to be in compliance, each Federal agency retrieves the application from Grants.gov and reviews it for their own internal validation requirements. To complete this internal review, NIH utilizes validation rules that are built into the NIH eRA Commons. The validation rules the NIH eRA Commons uses are much more stringent and detailed than those used by Grants.gov. This tailors the validation process to meet NIH’s needs, and includes data elements such as page limitations, the modular budget process, and other format-specific requirements that are in place at NIH,
