We have a G20 and also need to upload the schematics in the Design Tracking System.  This has been a confusing system to me but NIH just asked who the SO was for the institution and then set that person up in the system.  They also asked us to identify a project manager.  The project manager will have to work with the SO to upload the documents.  There was no requirement that the person identified as the SO be dedicated to the project.

If your institution is open to the idea, the person who is set up as the SO can set up other NON SO commons users to upload and submit the documents.  What I am trying to work with my central research office on is to let them be the official SO, but delegate the authority (in the Design Tracking System) to our project manager so she can upload the documents.

Hope this helps. Feel free to give me a call if you want.

Thanks

Rob

We just went thru similar acrobatics for a new C06.  My understanding was
that the only person who could upload the stuff was the PI, who in our
case happened to be a SO.  It makes no sense (to me) that NCRR can require
a "dedicated SO" just for their grants.  Please let me know what you
learn, especially how a PI might delegate some authority so that we don't
need to be asking Deans to upload documents.
