Subject: Applicant Requesting Grants.gov AOR
Status
An individual from your organization has registered with
Grants.gov and requested to be designated as an Authorized Organizational
Representative (AOR) for your organization.Designating this person as an AOR will allow him to submit
grant applications to Federal Agencies via Grants.gov on behalf of your
organization.NOTE:The user will
not be able to submit an application on behalf of your organization until this
designation process has been completed. To access the e-Business Point
of Contact (EBiz) section of Grants.gov, you will be prompted for an ID (use
your organization's DUNS number) and a password (use your organization's CCR
MPIN), which was assigned to your organization when it enrolled with the Central
Contractor Registry (CCR). If you have forgotten your organization's CCR MPIN
password, contact the CCR by calling 1-888-227-2423 or by clicking http://www.ccr.gov/.As the CCR e-Business Point of Contact, you
are the only person authorized for your organization to approve this individual
as an AOR.Please log in to the EBiz
section of Grants.gov at https://atapply.grants.gov/AorMgrGetID
to authorize this individual to perform this function.If you determine that this individual should
not be assigned AOR access, do not update the user roles when you review the
request in Grants.gov.If you have
questions regarding the EBiz role assignment process, information is available
on the site at https://atapply.grants.gov/AorMgrGetID
and clicking the help button in the upper right corner. Information is also
available in the Customer Support section at mailto:support@grants.gov.
The E-Business POC will
then need to authorize the AOR as the agency representative approved to submit
applications on behalf of the organization before that person can submit an
application.
Note:If an AOR has not been authorized by their
E-Business POC, the submitted application will be rejected.

only accept the last application submitted in Grants.gov by an organization.
§At the above screen: (1)
You can authorize an AOR to submit applications on behalf of the organization;
