One person, multiple institutions

Can the same individual register and/or serve as the Point of Contact for more than one institution?

Yes, if the individual has the authority to act on behalf of both institutions with respect to participation in and implementation of the Agreement. The involved institution determines the authority granted to the individual.

If two institutions have separate Federal Assurances (e.g. FWAs), can the same individual sign the Joinder Agreement for both institutions?

Yes, if the individual has appropriate signature authority for both institutions. This may be the case in some university-hospital affiliations, for example, where the same individual serves as an Institutional Official for both the university and the hospital. It will depend on the authority granted by each institution to the individual; such authority must be determined by the involved institutions.
