Upcoming Change in Federal-wide Unique Entity Identifier Requirements
Currently when applying for Federal grants or cooperative
agreements, all applicant organizations must have a DUNS number as the
Universal Identifier. The General Services Administration (GSA) recently
announced that DUNS will be replaced by a new Government-owned unique entity
identifier in all systems, including Grants.gov and eRA Commons. The new
government unique identifier will be incorporated into the SAM registration process,
eliminating the need for applicants to seek external identifiers in order to
register.
The transition is ongoing, and more information on this to
come as NIH learns more.
