Application (Notice of Funding Opportunity)

Additional Information

  • Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) Registration

    To apply for federal funding opportunities, a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) number, as well as a current status in the System for Award Management (SAM) is required. It may take four weeks or more after submission for the registration to become active in SAM and an additional 24 hours for grants.gov to recognize the information. This can be done online at SAM.gov.

    Be aware that all entities renewing or updating their SAM registration at SAM.gov are required to submit an original signed, notarized letter confirming the authorized entity administrator associated with the Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) number before the registration is activated.
