I can't find a sponsor, but I think we've done business with them before.
- Use 'Company Profiles' in the top navigation bar in eSRA to look for sponsors rather than searching from within the proposal. You will have better search capabilities.
- The 'Filter By' options include name, also known as, acronym, and country.
- Watch out for possible abbreviations that might affect your search.
- For example: United States might also be listed as U.S. or US.
- Enter as little information as possible to get the widest possible results. In other words, type a key word in the name using the wild card % at the beginning and end to assist in the search instead of typing the entire name.
- For example: Use %wind to search for American Wind Energy Association
How do I request a new sponsor?
- Contracts Officers and Resource Analysts can find the 'Request New Sponsor' button on the bottom left in the proposal workspace. It provides a form that will be submitted to the Sponsor Administrator through eSRA. Refer to the Sponsor Desk Guide for eSRA for full details about the process or the Request New Sponsor QR2051 both available in the Supplemental Information by Topics page.
Reps and Certs
When do I need to request Reps & Certs?
You do not need to request Reps & Certs.
- Reps and Certs are requested from the Sponsor by the OCFO Sponsor Administrator, if needed.
- For more information about how Reps & Certs are used for setting up sponsors, refer to the Sponsor Desk Guide for eSRA available in the Supplemental Information by Topics page.
A sponsor has changed its name. How do I make the change in eSRA?
- Requests for name changes should be sent to the OCFO Sponsor Administrator. If you don't know who that is, you can send your request to eSRAHelp@lbl.gov and it will be forwarded to the Sponsor Administrator.
- Send as much information as you have about the name change including any current sponsor contact information to the sponsor administrator so the correct path forward can be determined.
- Many factors are involved and the path forward must be determined on a case-by-case basis.
