Can the Reliance Point of Contact create and submit a reliance request?

Yes, Reliance POCs and POC Backups can submit requests on behalf of investigators. While we have designed the Online Reliance System to be investigator-driven in an effort to accommodate the wide range of institutions, with varying research portfolios and research infrastructure, we recognize that some institutions prefer to act on behalf of their investigators. As a Reliance POC or POC Backup, you may determine whether it is appropriate to authorize such an exception at your institution.

If you are a Reliance POC or POC Backup who would like to be able to submit requests on behalf of your investigators, you will need to set up a separate investigator-level account using an unique email address that differs from your POC email address.
