Applicants: No new awards can be made to organizations that do not have active registrations in SAM.gov.
Grantees: Your future grant payments and amendment requests will be delayed if you do not have an active and accurate SAM.gov registration in place. Avoid unnecessary delays by ensuring that your organization is registered and that all of your SAM.gov data are accurate. Use the resources listed below if you need assistance.
