Certification Form - Renewal

For Extramural LRP Applications

4. Review the Certifying Official's Assurances carefully and mark the checkbox if all are true.

5. If you are finished, click Submit.

6. If you need to check information and come back to this form later, click Save.
   If you click Save, then the next time you log into the IBO Portal, the Initial Certification status will appear as Work in Progress for this applicant, and the three-dot ellipsis menu will show Complete Certification instead of Start Certification, which you can click to return to this form and complete it.
