HHS has established a program for training personnel for certification and designation as Project Officers. See 302.101(g) for further information regarding the definition of a Project Officer and when designation of a Project Officer is appropriate. All references to Project Officers also apply to their alternates. Program Managers or their designees are authorized to designate individuals to serve as Project Officers. ( Note: If an individual will also serve as the COTR for a proposed project, the individual shall comply with the training certification requirements for COTRs- see 301.604. )
