Well ahead of your application date, contact your organization's business office.
You need to find out about procedures and timelines for electronic application. Know your contacts, since you'll be interacting with them before and during application.
At least a month before you want to apply, you will need an eRA Commons account. Ask your Commons signing official to register you and associate your profile with your organization.
You will also need to find out who is your organization's authorized organizational representative (AOR) for Grants.gov. Typically someone in your business office, your AOR -- not you -- submits your application on your behalf. Likewise, for Grants.gov your organization is the applicant.
NIH guidance describes how to apply if your organization applies directly to Grants.gov. But it may use a different approach, so be sure to find out.
