Eleanor,
I don’t think you can stop them from
asking, but you can tell them “no”!
You can tell them that grants.gov is designed
specifically so that institutions (to which the money is actually awarded, not the
PI) can review and approve the applications. (If the grant went to the
PI, think of the tax implications!)
We have sent out one notice (via our
electronic newsletter) to faculty telling them that grants.gov is a reality
they need to become familiar with, and that we simply will not be able to
accommodate any last minute requests to submit proposals. I am sure we
will need to send this message (along with the info that only we can “submit”)
out often until the faculty are saturated with the information.
Good luck!

Subject: [RESADM-L] grants.gov AOR
and faculty
Hello:
I’ve been having a lot of faculty who
wish to submit proposals through grants.gov sign up for AOR
privileges. At our institution we have designated AORs and they are
not faculty. Are any of you having similar problems
with faculty? What is your strategy to stop them from
requesting this permission?
