APPLICATIONS MUST BE SUBMITTED THROUGH FEDCONNECT AT

Organizations
with system-to-system capabilities with Grants.gov may continue to use
Grants.gov for submissions.
To submit an application in response to this FOA, Applicants must be
registered
with FedConnect. Before you can register with FedConnect, you will need
the
following:
1. Your company¿s DUNS (including plus 4 extension if applicable). If you
don¿t know your
company¿s DUNS or if your company does not have a DUNS you can search for
it or
request one at http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform/displayHomePage.do .
2. A federal Central Contractor Registration (CCR) account. If your
company is
not currently registered with CCR, please register at www.ccr.gov before
continuing with your FedConnect registration.
3. Possibly, your company¿s CCR MPIN. If you are the first person from
your
company to register, FedConnect will need to create a company account. Only
a
person who knows your company¿s CCR MPIN can do this. To find out who this
is
in your company, go to http://www.ccr.gov/ and click Search CCR. Once
you¿ve
found your company, locate the Electronic Business Point of Contact.
After the initial FedConnect account is created, employees can register
themselves without
the MPIN. If you are not sure whether your company has an account with
FedConnect, don¿t
worry. Complete the registration form and FedConnect will let you know.
Applicants who are not registered with CCR and FedConnect, should allow at
least 21 days
to complete these requirements. It is suggested that the process be
started as
soon as
possible. For those Applicants already registered in CCR, the CCR
registration
