Your first step at Grants.gov is to find relevant grant opportunities. Search for information using a number of criteria, including keywords or specific federal agency.

Register

In order to apply for a grant, you and/or your organization must complete the registration process. Organizations must:

• Obtain a Data Universal Number System (DUNS) number.
• Register with the Central Contractor Registry (CCR) (888-227-2423).
• Complete the Authorized Organization Representative (AOR) profile and create user name and password.
• Get AOR authorization from your e-business point of contact.
• Track AOR status using your user name and password.

Individuals wishing to submit a grant application using Grants.gov are required to complete a one-time registration process; however, neither a DUNS number nor the CCR registration is necessary for individual registration.
