Manage Delegation

Information on the kind of actions that can be delegated to others in eRA Commons and how to assign and revoke those delegations.

In eRA Commons, users can delegate authority to perform specific functions to any other eRA Commons user that has the assistant (ASST) role. Delegation can be assigned for various tasks individually, to include the ability to update Personal Profile information for principal investigators; view application status information (this does not include summary statement or priority score); manage trainee information for training grants; work on financial conflict of interest information; work on all types of progress reports and Human Subject System (HSS) data; and some institutions even allow delegation of the submission of progress reports and HSS data. 

Signing Officials (SO), Business Officials (BO) and Account Administrators (AA) are able to delegate certain authorities on behalf of other Commons users.

Basic Tasks (step-by-step instructions from the online help)*

* You must be logged into eRA Commons with appropriate role(s) to complete these activities.
