In order to safeguard the security of your electronic information, Grants.gov utilizes a Credential Provider. It is the process of determining, with certainty, that someone really is who they claim to be.
The Credential Provider for Grants.gov is Operational Research Consultants (ORC). When registering as an individual with ORC, you will receive an ID and password to have your grant application forwarded to the appropriate government agency safely and securely.
Note: In order for you to apply as an individual, the grant application must be open to individuals and be published on the Grants.gov website.
If you would like to submit an application as an individual, please enter the Funding Opportunity Number for a grant application that you intend to apply for and click press the "Register" button below.
Tips for registering with the Credential Provider:
- Individuals do not need a DUNS number to register to submit applications. The system will generate a default value in that field.
- Registering with a Credential Provider is a simple process. Guidance on this process is included in the Register with the Credential Provider section of the site.
