Tips for first time users of Grants.Gov

Register your electronic signature early!

Most organizations have found Grants.Gov to be a user friendly system. The most frequent glitch has occurred when an organization has delayed obtaining the unique electronic signature to the last minute.

An electronic signature requires three levels of authorization before you can submit on line. You will need to decide who will be the Authorized Organization Representative (AOR), the caretaker of the electronic signature for your organization. At a university the Chief Grant Official generally signs all of the electronic grants for the entire institution. If all goes well, this process can take as little as a week, but some organizations encounter internal and external delays that can slow things down quite a bit.

Remember, you can’t submit your application on-line until your organization has e-authentication credentials. Here are the basic steps:

1. Certify your DUNS Number. You must first have a certified, unique Dun and Bradstreet Universal Data Numbering System (DUNS) number. Some organizations may have more than one DUNS number registered. This can lead to unanticipated delays. Only one number can be certified.

2. Central Contractor Registry and Credential Provider Registration. Once you have your unique, approved DUNS number, you need to register with the Central Contractor Registry.

3. Grants.Gov Electronic Signature Authorization. Once steps A and B are complete, you will then need to contact Grants.Gov. The Authorized Organization Representative (AOR) will be assigned password that will enable him or her to sign the Grants.Gov applications electronically. The AOR must be an individual who is able to make legally binding commitments for the applicant organization. Organizations may designate more than one AOR.
