Online Help: Adding a New Profile to a Grants.gov Applicant Account

Editor’s Note: This blog post was first published in 2019 and updated on April 9, 2020.

If you work for, or consult with, multiple applicant organizations, you can create separate profiles for each organization – all under one account.

Each profile may be assigned different roles, depending on the nature of your work at each organization. And all profiles are accessible under a single Grants.gov account, eliminating the need to maintain separate system accounts.

Ways to Add a Profile to Your Account

Adding a profile to an applicant account can be done either during the user registration process, or anytime afterward (when logged in) via the My Account link in the upper-right corner of the Grants.gov banner.

Adding a Profile at Registration

Below is a quick guide on adding an applicant profile at registration. For a more detailed guide, click here.

1. Complete the Grants.gov account registration process.
2. Under the “How would you like to proceed?” heading, select either the Add Organization Applicant Profile option or the Add Individual Applicant Profile option.
3. Enter the Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) for the organization in the UEI field, if you selected the Organization Applicant Profile option.
4. Create a profile name that will distinguish this organization profile from any other profiles you may have within your Grants.gov account.
5. Enter your job title for this organization in the Job Title field.
6. Click the Save button to complete the profile creation process.

Adding a Profile After an Account Has Been Created

Here’s a quick guide on adding a profile after an account has been created. For a more detailed guide, click here.

1. Login to Grants.gov.
2. Click the My Account link in the upper-right corner of the Grants.gov banner.
3. Click the Manage Profiles tab.
4. Click the Add Profile button in the Manage Profiles tab.
5. Select either New Profile or From Existing Account. (The latter option lets you create a profile based on data from a separate account.)
6. Select the Profile Type for the new profile.
7. Enter a descriptive Profile Name.
8. Enter your Job Title.
9. Click the Save button to complete the profile creation process.

After your new profile has been added, the organization’s E-Business Point of Contact (EBiz POC), or a user with the Expanded AOR role, can then assign roles to that profile.
