Manage Delegations

Grantees — Manage Delegations

In eRA Commons, users can delegate authority to perform specific functions to any other eRA Commons user who has the assistant (ASST) role. Delegation can be assigned individually for various tasks, such as the ability to update Personal Profile information for principal investigators; view application status information (this does not include summary statement or priority score); manage trainee information for training grants; work on financial conflict of interest information; and work on all types of progress reports and Human Subject System (HSS) data. Some institutions even allow delegation of the submission of progress reports and HSS data. 

Signing officials (SO), business officials (BO) and account administrators (AA) are able to delegate certain authorities on behalf of other Commons users.

Basic Tasks (step-by-step instructions)

• Delegate on Behalf of another User
