RR Key Person Expanded V1.2

The 1-2 version added fields for Degree Type and Degree Year.

User entries are required to populate the forms as noted by yellow-highlighted, bold boxed cells in the tables.

Maintenance issue: Zip+4 in your Person Table addresses

If the zip code submitted is only 5 digits, not zip + 4, you may notice a red box highlighting these entries when the application is processed at NIH eCommons. This does not fail validation at either Grants.gov or eCommons at this time.

 

Mandatory form field for validating the form for submission

There may be fields where the data requirement has been met due to actions required for other forms or general KC entries.
