    This document outlines the registration and application process for Defense Department (DoD) assistance awards through Grants.gov. Applicants must be registered in the System of Award Management (SAM) and have a DUNS number to apply. Registration in SAM is free and essential for conducting government business, while the DUNS number is necessary for funding applications. Transitioning to the Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) will eventually replace the DUNS number. The document emphasizes timely registration to prevent application submission delays, which can take up to four weeks. It describes how individuals and organizations can register for Grants.gov and the authorization process necessary for submitting applications. Applicants are encouraged to submit their applications at least two days before the deadline to account for potential technical issues. Mandatory fields in application forms must be completed, with the SF-424 form filled out first to facilitate information transfer to other forms. Tracking application statuses and obtaining submission confirmation emails from Grants.gov are crucial steps in the process. This guidance ensures that applicants are well-equipped to submit proposals effectively and on time, aligning with federal funding requirements.
