Hi Laurie:

At St. John's University, we route the proposal exactly as if it were a
paper copy, getting the "signing official" to authorize in hard copy.
Then the grants office, as "submitting official", is authorized to
submit electronically.

Best,
Betty Farbman

Subject: [RESADM-L] Institution signatory authority and electronic
submission of proposals

Many electronic proposal application systems do not differentiate
between the submitting official and the signing official. What is the
policy at your institution regarding who has the authority in your
Sponsored Programs office to submit an electronic application? Do you
allow only persons with formal institution signatory authority to submit

applications electronically?

Laurie
