EBiz Point of Contact (POC) Authorized Profile Roles: After you register with Grants.gov and create an Organization Applicant Profile, the organization applicant’s request for Grants.gov roles and access are sent to the EBiz POC. The EBiz POC will then log in to Grants.gov and authorize the appropriate roles, which may include the AOR role, thereby giving you permission to complete and submit applications on behalf of the organization. You will be able to submit your application online any time after you have been assigned the AOR role. For more detailed instructions about creating a profile on Grants.gov, refer to EBiz POC Authorizes Profile Roles | Grants.gov. 9. Track Role Status: To track your role request, refer to Track Profile Role Status | Grants.gov. 10. Electronic Signature: When applications are submitted through Grants.gov, the name of the organization applicant with the AOR role that submitted the application is inserted into the signature line of the application, serving as the electronic signature. The EBiz POC must authorize individuals who are able to make legally binding commitments on behalf of the organization as an AOR. Please ensure you have been authorized by the EBiz POC as this step is often missed, and it is crucial for valid and timely submissions. How to Submit an Initial Application to DHS/FEMA via Grants.gov Standard Form 424 (SF 424) is the initial application form. Grants.gov applicants can apply online using a workspace.

In Grants.gov, applicants need to submit the following forms: • SF-424, Application for Federal Assistance; and • Grants.gov Lobbying Form, Certification Regarding Lobbying. Below is an overview of applying on Grants.gov. For access to complete instructions on how to apply for opportunities using a workspace, refer to: Workspace Overview | Grants.gov 1.

Complete a Workspace: Add participants to the workspace to work on the application together, complete all the required forms online or by downloading PDF versions, and check for errors before submission. 3. Adobe Reader: If you decide not to apply by filling out web forms, you can download individual PDF forms in Workspace so that they will appear similar to other Standard or DHS/FEMA forms. The individual PDF forms can be downloaded and saved to your local device storage, network drive(s), or external drives, and then accessed through Adobe Reader.
