The next step in the registration process is creating a username and password with Grants.gov to become an Authorized Organizational Representative (AOR). AORs will need to know the D- U -N -S® Number of the organization for which they will be submitting applications to complete this process. To read more detailed instructions for creating a profile on Grants.gov visit: http: / /www -grants gov /applicants /orq step3 isp. After creating'a profile on Grants.gov, the E -Biz point of Contact (E -Biz POC) - a representative from your organization who is the contact listed for CCR —will receive an email to grant the AOR permission to submit applications on behalf of their organization. The E -Biz POC will then log in to Grants.gov and approve an applicant as the AOR, thereby giving him or her permission to submit applications. To learn more about AOR Authorization visit: http: / /www.grants.gov /applicants /orq step5.jsp, or to track AOR status visit: http: / /www.grants.goy /applicants /org step6.lsp. An application submitted through Grants.gov constitutes a submission as an electronically signed application.

When a registered applicant submits an application with Grants.gov, an electronic time stamp is generated within the system when the application is successfully received by Grants.gov. Within two business days of application submission, Grants.gov will send the• applicant two email messages to provide the status of the application's progress through the system. The first email, sent almost immediately, will contain a tracking number and will confirm receipt of the application by Grants.gov. The second email will Indicate the application has either been successfully validated or has been rejected due to errors. Only applications that have been successfully submitted by the deadline and subsequently successfully validated will be considered. It Is .the•sole responsibility of the applicant to ensure a timely submission. While it is not required'that an application be successfully validated before the deadline for submission, it Is prudent to reserve time before the deadline in case it is necessary to resubmit an application that has not been successfully validated. Therefore, sufficient time should be allotted for submission (two business days) and, if applicable, additional time to' address errors and receive validation upon resubmission (an additional two business days for each ensuing submission). It is important to note that if sufficient time is not allotted'and a rejection notice is received after the due date and time, the application will not be considered. To ensure consideration., the components of the application must be saved as .DOC (document), .RTF (rich text) .XL.S (Excel) or .PDF (portable document) format (ETA must be able to easily copy and paste information from applications into other file formats).. If submitted in any other format, the applicant bears the risk that compatibility or other issues will prevent us from considering the'application. ETA will attempt to open the document but will not take any . - additional measures in the event of problems with opening. In such cases, the non - conforming application will not be considered for funding. We strongly advise applicants to use the various tools and documents, including FAQs, which are available on the "Applicant Resources" page at http: / /www, grants .,qovlapplicants /resources.iso.
