I think the issue is the pain threshold at which people begin to feel they

See archived discussion about 1-2 weeks ago (and about 2 months ago), the

> Have any of you had to change who the AOR is at your institution because

> traditionally been the signators on grant applications and my office
> (pre-award) only submitted the application.  It is now being suggested

> I sign and submit.  It would be much easier for us, but I think it would

> Second question: Who is the e-business point of contact for your
> institution that assigns permissions for the AOR designations, etc.?  My
> office always did this for ERA commons and Fastlane. However, with
> grants.gov, the  assignment went to our post-award administrator and was
> recently changed to our conptroller.  Our new post-award administrator and
> I think that my office should take it over.  How is this handled at your
> institution? Thanks in advance for any feedback you can give me.
