1 Introduction
When the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Science (SC) recommends a proposal for funding which results in an Award, the Principal Investigator (PI) and Sponsored Research Office/Authorized Representative/Business Official (SRO/AO/BO) listed on the proposal are the only users who have access to the Award in PAMS. Additional users from the institution may require varying levels of access to the award. Requesting Additional Access on an Award gives users, beside the Award PI and Award SRO/AO/BO, access to upcoming and/or Pending Tasks for the Award.
The purpose of this document is to provide step-by-step instructions for users to follow to request access to awards in PAMS.
