LOIs do not require any institutional contacts to be added or to sign off on the submission. Full Proposals require both a Signing Official (SO) – who will need to sign off on the Full Proposal Application for it be officially submitted to OCRA and a Financial Official (FO) - this role does not have any action during the application process. Institutional Roles (these roles need to be two different people with unique email addresses): Financial Official (1 per grant): The Financial Official (FO) is an institutional official who is authorized to complete and submit financial reports on behalf of the institution. The FO will have access to the financial reports in SmartSimple, they will be required to submit the actual expenses and request carry forwards. The FO is the only person authorized to submit the financial reports. Signing Official (1 per grant): The Signing Official (SO) is an institutional official who is authorized to digitally sign off on the submission of full proposals, the grant Activation, Renewal(s), Budget Updates, No Cost Extension requests, etc.). In addition, the SO is required to complete the payment details for Activations and Renewal(s), certify that all information submitted is accurate, approve the budget for each year and make the final submission to OCRA. OCRA highly recommends PIs work with their institution to ensure there is both an FO and SO in SmartSimple well before the full proposal deadline.
