Video: Grants.gov’s New Registration Process

When applicants registered with Grants.gov prior to Release 16.1, they were required to enter a DUNS Number as part of the registration process.

Today, this is no longer the case. Applicants can opt to register a Grants.gov account without a DUNS number.

Those who want to affiliate one or more organization DUNS Numbers to their account can do so by adding a unique profile for each DUNS.

Here are the key actions that each type of registered applicant can take:

Type of Registered Applicant User	Available Actions for Registered Applicant User Types
Applicant Account with no DUNS profile	Create saved searches Manage email subscriptions and notifications Can be added to any workspace by a Workspace Owner Can complete forms as a Workspace Participant
Applicant Account with one or more DUNS profiles	Create saved searches Manage email subscriptions and notifications Can be added to any workspace by a Workspace Owner Can complete forms as a Workspace Participant Can create a workspace and serve as a Workspace Owner for an affiliated organization if given the Manage Workspace role Can submit a workspace application for an affiliated organization if given the AOR role
