1 Introduction1 Introduction
Institutions seeking funding from the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Science (SC), or with active funding, will have a variety of preproposalsPreproposals, Letters of Intent (LOIs), proposalsProposals, and awardsAwards. Throughout the lifecycle of any of these resources, a user within the organization may require access to assist with a submission or related activities. The Admin Sponsored Research Officer (SRO) at the institution has permissions to Manage Peer Access, granting users at the institution permissions to view, edit, delete, submit, or manage peer access themselves.
The purpose of this document is to provide step-by-step instructions for users to follow to Manage Peer Access for users registered to their institution.
2 Prerequisites2 Prerequisites
Before a user can Manage Peer Access, the following criteria must be met:
- The user has an active, external PAMS account.
- The user is an Admin SRO at the institution with the Manage Users, Submit to DOE, and Manage Institution Profile Permissions.
ORthe user - The user has Manage Users Privileges, or has submitted the resource (preproposalPreproposal, LOI, proposalProposal).
