Helpful Tips Always review the Program Announcement for requirements (i.e. page limits, documentation, etc.). Answer “Yes” on the eGC1 Ready-to-Submit (RTS) question only when the proposal is ready for submission The budget and the SF424 form must have the same start date Make sure to use the correct DUNS# Level of effort must be listed on detailed budget Do not use headers and footers on documents
35
More Helpful Tips NIH Only: Co-project Director (PD) or Co-Principal Investigator (PI) is not recognized. Make sure PI information in eRA Commons matches the name used on the application. Convert document attachments to PDF format.
