If you need assistance registering, please go to SAM or call 866-606-8220. DHS/FEMA <br />cannot assist applicants with questions related to registering in SAM or obtaining a <br />current CAGE code. <br />Authorized Organizational Representative <br />The next step in the registration process is creating a username and password with <br />Grants. zov to become an Authorized Organizational Representative (AOR). AORs <br />will need to know the DUNS number of the organization for which they will be <br />submitting applications to complete this process. To read more detailed instructions <br />for creating a profile on Grants.gov visit: <br />htt2. //www.Qrants.gov/web/grants/applicants/orjzanization-registration/step-3- <br />username-password. html. <br />AOR Authorization <br />After creating a profile on Grants. gov, the E -Biz Point of Contact (E -Biz POC) a <br />representative from your organization who is the contact listed for SAM will receive <br />an email to grant the AOR permission to submit applications on behalf of their <br />organization. The E -Biz POC will then log in to Grants. go and approves an applicant <br />as the AOR, thereby giving him or her permission to submit applications. To learn <br />more about AOR Authorization visit: <br />http: //www,grants.govlweb/grants/applicants/organization-registration/step-4-aor- <br />anthorization.html. To track an AOR status visit: <br />http: //www..erants. gov/web/grants/applicants/organization-registration/step-5-track- <br />aor-status.html. <br />The registration process can take four weeks or more to be completed. Therefore <br />registration should be done in sufficient time to ensure it does not impact your ability <br />to meet required submission deadlines. After you have been approved as an AOR you <br />will be able to submit your application online. <br />Electronic Signature <br />Applications submitted through Grants.gov constitute a submission as electronically <br />signed applications. The registration and account creation with Grants.gov with E -Biz <br />POC approval, establishes an AOR. When you submit the application through <br />Grants.gov, the name of your AOR on file will be inserted into the signature line of the <br />application. Applicants must register the individual who is able to make legally <br />binding commitments for the applicant organization as the AOR; this step often is <br />overlooked and is crucial for valid submissions. <br />DHS/FEMA may not make a HSGP award to an applicant until the applicant has <br />complied with all applicable DUNS and SAM requirements and, if an applicant has not <br />fully complied with the requirements by the time DHS/FEMA is ready to make an <br />award, DHS/FEMA may determine that the applicant is not qualified to receive an <br />award and use that determination as a basis for making an award to another applicant. <br />11 <br />FY 2015 HSGP NOFO <br />
