Note:When attaching a document, be sure that you do not attach a blank document by mistake.

NIH(eRACommons)PDFRequirementsIn addition to the requirements for submission through Grants.gov, the NIH has extensive recommendations forsuccessfulPDFsubmission. CayusesuggeststhatyoupayspecialattentiontoGuidelines2,3,6and7:

• Avoid bundling' multiple PDFs into a single file. For instructions on attaching Letters of Support, see below. • Avoid producing PDFs by scanning printed documents. Use recommended PDF creation software instead. • Disable any security features such as encryption or password requirements. • Do not attach PDFs that contain "stamps" (commonly used for signatures) or other comments. Such PDFs may not be

correctly transmitted to the eRA Commons, or may cause errors in other attached documents.

TheNIHalsorequiresspecialpreparationfortheResearchPlanattachment.Cayuse424providesatooltomakethispreparationeasierby allowinga singledocument tobe "exploded" into individual sectionduring theattachmentprocess.SeePreparingtheResearchPlanformoreinformation.

Note: Save a Word Document as PDF

• Windows: In Word 2010 and later, click Save As and set the file type to PDF to save the document as a PDF. o If you are using Word 2007 you can download and install the "Save As PDF" feature from Microsoft and use

it to generate your PDF. o Alternately, you can use Adobe Acrobat to produce the PDFs, if you have it. Other options include CutePDF

Writer (freeware) and other technologies mentioned by Grants.gov. • Macintosh OS X: In OS X you can use the <Save as PDF> button on the print dialog to generate a PDF.

Because the "Exploder" upload software now adds bookmarks to the PDFs, you do not need to use the "Add Bookmarks" utility.

InCayuse424,theExploder:• allows you to upload a single PDF, • "explodes" the PDF into sections, • attaches each section to the correct location in the proposal.

ToattachandautomaticallyexplodetheResearchPlan:1. Go to the Research Plan page 2. Click Addnext to the "0. Composite PDF" field. 3. Browse to and select the PDF file, and, if desired, the source file. You may upload both the PDF and the original word

processing document if you wish. Only the PDF is submitted with the proposal, but the source document can be uploaded for safekeeping and subsequent revision.

IfyouuploadaproperlyformattedResearchPlan,theCayuse424Exploderwill:

• add PDF bookmarks, which mark the start of each top-level section • display a Feedback window listing the found section headers • attach known sections on the Research Plan Page • attach the Bibliography on the Other Project Information Page • attach the Commercialization Plan on the SBIR Page (when appropriate)

Youmayupload thePDF asmany times as youneed to, but be aware that eachuploadoverwrites thepreviousuploadedPDFand theattached sectionsderived from it. TheTargeted/PlannedEnrollment, InclusionEnrollment,LettersofSupport,andtheAppendixarenotaffectedbymultipleuploads.

(Subawards/Consortium/Contractual Costs) in the R&R budget. • The subaward Indirect Cost is added to the Direct Cost to obtain the Total Cost for each budget period. • The prime's Indirect Costs on the subaward will be added to the Indirect Base for one of the named rates that you

specify. This appears on page 3 of the Detailed Budget in an extra field called AllocatedIDCBasedesigned for this purpose. A sample is shown below.

Thiscausesseveraleventstotakeplace:

• The routing event is logged in the Routing History as well as in the Proposal History. • Email is sent to the next person on the routing chain that an approval action has taken place and their attention is

required. • An entry is added to each routing chain member's Routing Hot List listing the proposal, the number of steps before

they need to approve, and how long it has been waiting. • The PI's access rights to the proposal forms are curtailed. Attachments, such as the Research Plan, can still be

modified and added, but no changes can be made to the form data or the budget. • The next reviewer in the routing chain, if they did not have full access to the proposal, is granted full access. This

access only lasts until the reviewer accepts or rejects the proposal. (Delegate(s) of the next reviewer will also have this access.)

• Other reviewers also have enhanced access while the proposal appears in their Routing Hot List.

Multi-ProjectProposalsWiththereleaseofCayuse424v6.0,Cayuse424beginssupportformulti-project(complex)proposals.WithinCayuse424, Multi-Project Components are treated like individual proposals. On Multi-Project Opportunities, thesecomponents canbe linked together to an 'Overall' component ona Components Attachment Page. The entireproposalcanthenbesubmittedtoGrants.govthroughCayuse424.

InCayuse 424, eachcomponent canbe treated as a separate Proposal, evenwhen theyare linked to anOverallComponent.Thismeans:

• Each component can have its own routing chain, however, currently the individual components do not have to complete routing to be submittable. Only the Overall component must have routing completed. To learn more about Routing in Cayuse 424, see our Routing page.

• Permissions flow down to each individual component. If you have access to the Overall Proposal, you will have access to all linked Components and any subawards linked to them. You can also grant access to specific components as necessary. To learn more about Permissions in Cayuse 424, see our Permissions page.

• Individual components can be edited simultaneously, even if another linked component has been locked by a different user. For example, the Overall component can be edited by one user while another user is editing another linked component. To learn more about Opening and Locking Proposals, see our Opening a Proposal page.

• Multi-Project Proposals have to be Copied/Transformed one component at a time. Selecting Copy/Transform on the Overall Component willnotCopy/Transform the entire Proposal, just the Overall Component. To learn more about the Copy/Transform process, see our Copying and Transforming page.

ValidationofMulti-ProjectProposalsWhen working in a Multi-Project (Complex) Proposal, Cayuse 424 provides the following validations across allcomponents:

• Human Embryonic Stem Cell lines. • Check for redundant BioSketches across the entire MP project (1 per eRA Commons credential). • Check for Human Subjects usage across components. This means that, if any component has checked "Yes" for

Human Subjects then OAC must be checked for yes. • Check for Vertebrate Animal usage across components. • Check for Foreign Activities across components. • Check for consistent budget start dates, end dates and number of budget periods.
