Important – Grants.gov Proposal Submission Information
Many SBIR/STTR Participating Federal Agencies require proposers to submit their applications for funding consideration via http://www.Grants.gov to be considered for award.
You cannot submit an application through Grants.gov unless you are registered. If you are not registered, please read the registration requirements in the announcement carefully and start the process immediately.
REMEMBER YOU HAVE TO UPDATE YOUR CCR REGISTRATION ANNUALLY!
If you have any questions about your registration, you should contact the Grants.gov Helpdesk at 1-800-518-4726 to verify that you are still registered in Grants.gov. After you submit your application through Grants.gov, it is important for you to check the status to ensure your submission was successfully received.
Agencies using Grants.gov will not accept applications rejected by Grants.gov system.
Registration Requirements: There are several one-time actions you must complete in order to submit an application through Grants.gov. These actions can vary depending upon whether or are an individual or an organization and can include:
1. Obtaining a Dun and Bradstreet Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number;
2. Registering with the Central Contract Registry (CCR);
3. Registering with the credential provider; and,
4. Registering with Grants.gov.

Designating an E-Business Point of Contact (EBiz POC) and obtaining a special password called an MPIN are important steps in the CCR registration process.
Applicants, who are not registered with CCR and Grants.gov, should allow at least 21 days to complete these requirements. It is suggested that the process be started as soon as possible!
