How did NIH choose to use 8 p.m. Eastern Time as the submission deadline at Grants.gov?
The eRA Commons help desk is open until 8 p.m. Eastern Time (ET) and the Grants.gov help desk is open until 9 p.m. ET. We decided to arrange the deadline within that window of time, so people would be available to help applicants with questions. Secondly, 8 p.m. ET works out to 5 p.m. Pacific Time, which is the time businesses generally close on the West Coast.
