Use of the eSNAP Comments Box When Routing
The comments box provided on the eSNAP routing page can be used to enter comments for the next reviewer of the application. These comments are provided to the next reviewer in the email from NIH/Commons that indicates the application has been routed to them for review. While this may seem like a handy, time saving method, the text blends into the body of the email and it is hard to discern that there is a special message contained within and it can be overlooked. If you choose to use the comments box, please alert the next reviewer by email or phone to look for the comments. It is recommended you provide any comments, notes or additions to the next reviewer (divisional admin., URA manager, etc.) directly in a person-to-person email. This will help to ensure that all additional items are addressed and executed prior to the submission of the eSNAP application.
