We have have observed grant applicants clicking submit to move from one page to the next when completing a form, thereby trigger all of the errors for required fields, which then send applicants into paralysis. If the submit button is disabled until all required fields in a form are complete, this aligns the platform more closely with the following UX heuristics, as well as other documents usability guidelines:

1: Visibility of System Status
2: Match Between the System and the Real World
4: Consistency and Standards
5: Error Prevention
