Application Access Terms

Application Owner 

The first person to validate a Grants.gov application into the EHBs automatically becomes the Application Owner. 

The Application Owner is the only role to have "Submit to HRSA" access permission and manage peer access.

Any organization users who have not yet been given access to the application need to work with the Application Owner to be granted access to the application in the EHBs.

Authorizing Official (AO)

Authorizing Official is the role of Organization users who can be selected as the Authorized Representative for an application.

Each application has a designated Authorizing Official who is responsible for submitting the application to HRSA and is the authorized representative of the organization, who will be held responsible for the terms of the application.

The application AO is assigned in the SF-424 Part 2 under the Authorized Representative section.

Manage Peer AccessThe Application Owner Provides access to others to the application.
