Register as an Authorized Organization Representative

Once the CCR Registration is complete, your organization is finished registering. Now you must register with Grants.gov to establish yourself as an Authorized Organization Representative (AOR), an individual authorized to submit grant applications for your organization.

There are two elements required to complete this step – obtaining a username and password from the Grants.gov Credential Provider and then registering with Grants.gov. Both of these elements must be completed before receiving authorization by your organization.

In summation, AORs who plan to submit a grant application using Grants.gov are required to register with the Credential Provider to create their username and password, register this new username and password at Grants.gov to begin to set-up their AOR profile and complete the registration by receiving approval from their organization’s POC. The organization’s POC can also be the Authorized Organization Representative.
