What information will I need to register for a grant?

Your organization will need to obtain a DUNS Number. If your organization doesn’t have one, you will need to go to the Dun & Bradstreet website at DUNs Number Websiteto obtain the number.

Ensure that your organization is registered with the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) at CCR Website. If it is not, an authorizing official of your organization must register. You will not be able to move on to Step #3 until this step is completed.

Create a username and password with ORC, the Grants.gov credential service provider. You will need to use your organization’s DUNS Number to access the ORC website at ORC Website
Register with Grants.gov to open an account using the username and password you received from ORC.

The E-Business Point of Contact (POC) at your organization must respond to the registration email from Grants.gov and login at Grants.gov to authorize you as an AOR. Note that there can be more than one AOR for an organization.

At any time, you can track your AOR status at the Applicant Home Page of Grants.gov by logging in with your username and password.
