Sponsor (SPONSOR)

A sponsor supervises the research training experience of individual fellows supported by fellowship awards in the xTrain module. Your institution's SO (or another institutional official with Commons account management privileges, such as an AO) can add the Sponsor role to your account, which in turn will associate the Sponsor role with all of the fellowships with which you are a Sponsor.

Agency-Specific Instructions: Department of Commerce. This role is not used by DOC. If you have this role, it does not give you privileges for DOC awards.

If you hold a Sponsor role, you have privileges to perform the following tasks:

• View the following Training Grant related items:
  • Trainee Roster
  • List of Grants
• Review Termination Notices and route to BO before submission to Agency
• Initiate Termination Notices on behalf of fellows who have left the institution
