Funding Opportunities and Resources
Grants.gov workspace is now the standard application method.
By April 4, 2022, the federal government will transition away from using the DUNS Number and toward the new Unique Entity ID as the primary means of entity identification for federal awards. If you are registered in SAM.gov, you’ve already been assigned a new Unique Entity ID! It’s viewable in your SAM.gov entity registration record. Go to fsd.gov and select the green "Help on UEI Transition" button to learn more. You may also watch the recorded Grants Innovation Exchange Session on the New Unique Entity ID (SAM) training from November 2021 and view the slide deck from the January 2022 Grants Innovation Exchange training.
