The application must be on SF424 R&R (Research and Related Portable

For the grants.gov electronic application process, applicants are
required to register with the Central Contractor Registration (CCR)
database. This database is a government-wide warehouse of commercial
and financial information for all organizations conducting business
with the Federal Government.
Registration with CCR is a requirement and is consistent with the
government-wide management reform to create a citizen-centered Web
presence and build e-gov infrastructures in and across agencies to
establish a ``single face to industry.'' The preferred method for
completing a registration is through the World Wide Web at http://www.ccr.gov.
This Web site provides a CCR handbook with detailed
information on data you will need prior to beginning the online
registration, as well as steps to walk you through the registration
process.
In order to access grants.gov, an applicant will be required to
register with the Credential Provider. Information about this is
available at https://apply.grants.gov/OrcRegister. (FDA has verified
the Web site address, but we are not responsible for subsequent changes
to the Web site after this document publishes in the Federal Register.)
