All users may view signoffs for a grant application. However, only Agency users with the Authorized Signoff role can apply a signoff.
For most grant applications, the authorized signoff option becomes available only after the first step is complete. See Completing the Application.
Before signing off on a grant application:
1. Verify that all the information entered on the grant is complete and accurate.
2. Open and view all contract documents.
3. If your signature is required on the contract documents (as the Agency approver on a single grant application or as a consortium lead), double-check the signature lines on the Grant Agreement to verify that your information appears correctly.
4. Determine if you are using an electronic signature or if you are printing and signing paper documents.
5. Review the Authorized Signoff Summary screen to view pending and completed signoffs. Ensure that all other user signoffs required before your own signoff have been completed.
CONSORTIUM SIGNOFFS: Before a lead in a consortium project can signoff and submit a grant application, all members of the consortium must apply an authorized signoff. However, only the signature of the consortium lead is required on the final Grant Agreement.
