ON-TIME SUBMISSION
Error-free applications must be accepted by Grants.gov with a time stamp on or before 5:00 p.m. local time of the submitting organization on the due date. A few important reminders:▫NIH recommends submitting early (days, not
minutes!) to allow time for correcting any errors found during the application viewing window prior to the due date
▫NIH’s late policy does not allow corrections after the due date
▫All registrations must be completed before the due date
27

TROUBLE SUBMITTING DUE TO SYSTEM ISSUES?
When SAM, Grants.gov or eRA system issues threaten your on-time submission…
▫Contact appropriate support to try to get resolution If working with SAM and/or Grants.gov, contact eRA Commons
Help Desk to document issue and steps taken toward resolution
▫ If the eRA Commons Help Desk verifies that a system "bug" or service interruption has occurred, they will provide instructions to complete the submission Once resolution is provided, you must immediately (typically
same business day) complete the submission Failure to quickly follow through on guidance that is given may
result in your application being denied further consideration
▫Document your issues and corrective actions including support ticket numbers in cover letter
