OMB has determined that there is a need for improved statistical reporting of Federal grants and cooperative agreements. Use of the DUNS number government-wide will provide a means to identify entities receiving those awards and their business relationships. The identifier will be used for tracking purposes, and to validate address and point of contact information.
Organizations can receive a DUNS number at no cost by calling the dedicated toll-free DUNS Number request line at 1-866-705-5711. An organization also can obtain a DUNS number at www.dnb.com/us/
. This process takes 30 business days and there is
no cost
unless the organization requests expedited (one day) processing, which
involves
a fee. - Tips on Writing a Grant Proposal: Applicants are advised to refer to the Grants Administration Division link: www.epa.gov/ogd/recipient/tips.htm for Tips on Writing a Grant Proposal.
