Otherwise, you have to stop the current application or get rid of the currrent grid certificate and re-apply. The form to request a new grid certificate is at DOEgrids site: http://pki1.doegrids.org. In the form, you need to fill your personal information. In addition, please set the following: Affiliation: OSG The sponsor's information is also presented at USCMS certificate team.
