Applying for a Grant

A Dun and Bradstreet Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number is now required on all federal applications for assistance. Your organization may obtain a DUNS number at no cost by calling Dun & Bradstreet at (866) 705-5711 or on the Internet.  

Applications for Federal assistance must be submitted via Grants.gov. It is highly recommended that EPA grant applicants complete their registration on Grants.gov now, since the entire process can take up to 30 days to complete. Information located at Submitting an Application to Grants.gov Apply and Applicant Resources for Grants.gov will help you get started.  Applicants are also encouraged to view a previously recorded EPA Information Webinar session/ presentation regarding Grants.gov register for an available session.

If you have been instructed to apply for an EPA grant, please follow the instructions provided by your EPA Point of Contact (usually the EPA Project Officer). Also, using the Region 9 Application Checklist (PDF) (2 pp, 121K) will help ensure submission of a complete application. Please be advised that submission of a complete application to EPA does not guarantee an award will be made.
