Many federal agencies, including the National Institutes of Health (NIH), require communications and requests to be endorsed by an Authorized Organization Representative (AOR). At Pitt, this requirement is met by routing requests and questions through specialists in the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP). After review, the OSP specialist will provide the official University endorsement and submit your communication/request to the federal sponsor.
Sponsor communication requests should be submitted to OSP in MyFunding through the related proposal (FP) or award (AWD) record. You can find the OSP specialist assigned to your department on the OSP website.
For additional information, see the OSP related Tip of the Week for submitting federal contract documents through OSP.
