Common use of XXX FORMATTING AND VALIDATION REQUIREMENTS Clause in Contracts

XXX FORMATTING AND VALIDATION REQUIREMENTS. Xxxxxx.xxx allows the following list of UTF-8 characters when naming your attachments: A-Z, a-z, 0-9, underscore, hyphen, space, and period. Other UTF-8 characters should not be used as they will not be accepted by NIH’s eRA Commons, as indicated in item #9 in the table below. Scanned images must be scanned at 150-200 dpi/ppi resolution and saved as a PDF file. Using a higher resolution setting or different file type will result in a larger file size, which could result in rejection of your application. Any files uploaded or attached to the Xxxxxx.xxx application must be PDF file format and must contain a valid file format extension in the filename. In addition, the use of compressed file formats such as ZIP, RAR or Adobe Portfolio will not be accepted. The following are formatting requirements and system validations required by eRA Commons and will result in errors if not met. The application must be ‘error free’ to be processed through the eRA Commons. There may be additional validations which will result in Warnings but these will not prevent the application from processing through the submission process. (See Appendix A, Section 4.2)
