Procedure

Ohio University maintains an account in the federal government’s System for Award Management (SAM). SAM includes the most-often-required representations and certifications and is accessible to all federal agencies and subcontractors. Updates are submitted at least annually.

Some federal agencies and pass-through entities may require additional representations and certifications at the time of proposal submission. When such information is required, your Sponsored Program Manager will complete the representation and/or certification form on the PIs behalf. All representations and certifications are reviewed by ORSP and must be signed by an authorized official.
