Good morning Heather,

One of the PIs who I work with just submitted a proposal through the DOE eXCHANGE system yesterday and he was the one who hit the Submit button rather than one of our AORs.  From what I've seen and been told by my OSP, there is no institutional registration in the eXCHANGE system, only individual registrations so there is no institutional authority behind the AOR if they were the one to push the button.  A SF424 signed by an AOR was required as part of our proposal and once our OSP gave the signed form back to the PI, that was their way of giving him the green light to submit on his own.

Good luck with your proposal.

Best,
Jennifer Lech
