Instructions on how to complete the online Institution Registration Form is provided on the eRA Commons Online Registration Page. [Note: You must have a valid and verifiable DUNS number to complete the eRA Commons registration.] After the organization’s representative (AOR or BO) completes the online Institution Registration Form and clicks Submit, the eRA Commons will send an e-mail notification from xxx-xxxxxx@xxxx.xxx.xxx with the link to confirm the email address. Once the e-mail address is verified, the registration request will be reviewed and confirmed via email. If your request is denied, the representative will receive an email detailing the reason for the denial. If the request is approved, the representative will receive an email with a Commons User ID (with the Signing Official ‘SO’ role) and temporary password. The representative will need to log into Commons with the temporary password, at which time the system will provide prompts to change the temporary password to one of their choosing. Once the designated contact Signing Official (SO) signs the registration request, the organization will be active in Commons and any user with the SO role will be able to create and maintain additional accounts for the organization’s staff, including accounts for those designated as Program Directors.Registration

All applicants must register with NIH’s eRA Commons in order to submit an application. This process takes up to six weeks. If you believe you are interested in applying for this opportunity, you MUST start the registration process immediately. Do not wait to start this process. If your organization is not registered and you do not have an active eRA Commons PI account by the deadline, the application will not be accepted. No exceptions will be made. Applicants also must register with the System for Award Management (XXX) and Xxxxxx.xxx (see below for all registration requirements). GET REGISTERED You are required to complete four (4) registration processes: Dun & Bradstreet Data Universal Numbering System (to obtain a DUNS number); System for Award Management (XXX); Xxxxxx.xxx; and eRA Commons. If this is your first time submitting an application, you must complete all four registration processes. If you have already completed registrations for DUNS, SAM, and Xxxxxx.xxx, you need to ensure that your accounts are still active, and then register in eRA Commons. If you have not registered in Xxxxxx.xxx, the registration for Xxxxxx.xxx and eRA Commons can be done concurrently. You must register in eRA Commons and receive a Commons Username in order to have access to electronic submission, receive notifications on the status of your application, and retrieve grant information. If your organization is not registered and does not have an active eRA Commons PI account by the deadline, the application will not be accepted. The organization must maintain an active and up-to-date XXX and DUNS registrations in order for SAMHSA to make an award. If your organization is not compliant when SAMHSA is ready to make an award, SAMHSA may determine that your organization is not qualified to receive an award and use that determination as the basis for making an award to another applicant. 1.1 Dun & Bradstreet Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) Registration SAMHSA applicants are required to obtain a valid DUNS Number, also known as the Unique Entity Identifier, and provide that number in the application. Obtaining a DUNS number is easy and there is no charge. To obtain a DUNS number, access the Dun and Bradstreet website at: xxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx or call 0-000-000-0000. To expedite the process, let Xxx and Xxxxxxxxxx know that you are a public/private nonprofit organization getting ready to submit a federal grant application. The DUNS number you use on your application must be registered and active in the System for Award Management (XXX). 1.2 System for Award Management (XXX) Registration You must also register with the System for Award Management (XXX) and continue to maintain active XXX registration with current information during the period of time your organization has an active federal award or an application under consideration by an agency (unless you are an individual or federal agency that is exempted from those requirements under 2 CFR § 25.110(b) or (c), has an exception approved by the agency under 2 CFR § 25.110(d)). To create a XXX user account, Register/Update your account, and/or Search Records, go to xxxxx://xxx.xxx.gov. It is also highly recommended that you renew your account prior to the expiration date. XXX information must be active and up-to-date, and should be updated at least every 12 months to remain active (for both recipients and sub-recipients). Once you update your record in XXX, it will take 48 to 72 hours to complete the validation processes. Xxxxxx.xxx rejects electronic submissions from applicants with expired registrations. If your XXX account expires, the renewal process requires the same validation with IRS and DoD (Cage Code) as a new account requires. The renewal process can take up to one month. 1.3 Xxxxxx.xxx Registration Xxxxxx.xxx is an online portal for submitting federal grant applications. It requires a one-time registration in order to submit applications. While Xxxxxx.xxx registration is a one-time only registration process, it consists of multiple sub-registration processes (i.e., DUNS number and XXX registrations) before you can submit your application. [Note: eRA Commons registration is separate]. You can register to obtain a Xxxxxx.xxx username and password at xxxx://xxx.xxxxxx.xxx/web/grants/register.html. If you have already completed Xxxxxx.xxx registration and ensured your Xxxxxx.xxx and XXX accounts are up-to-date and/or renewed, please skip this section and focus on the eRA Commons registration steps noted below. If this is your first time submitting an application through Xxxxxx.xxx, registration information can be found at the Xxxxxx.xxx “Applicants” tab. The person submitting your application must be properly registered with Xxxxxx.xxx as the Authorized Organization Representative (AOR) for the specific DUNS number cited on the SF-424 (first page). See the Organization Registration User Guide for details at the following Xxxxxx.xxx link: xxxx://xxx.xxxxxx.xxx/web/grants/applicants/organization-registration.html. 1.4 eRA Commons Registration eRA Commons is an online interface managed by NIH that allows applicants, recipients, and federal staff to securely share, manage, and process grant-related information. Organizations applying for SAMHSA funding must register in eRA Commons. This is a one-time registration, separate from Xxxxxx.xxx registration. In addition to the organization registration, Business Officials and Program Directors listed as key personnel on SAMHSA applications must also register in eRA Commons and receive a Commons ID in order to have access to electronic submission and retrieval of application/grant information. It is strongly recommended that you start the eRA Commons registration process at least six (6) weeks prior to the application due date. If your organization is not registered and does not have an active eRA Commons PI account by the deadline, the application will not be accepted. For organizations registering with eRA Commons for the first time, either the Authorized Organization Representative (AOR) from the SF-424 or the Business Official (BO) from the HHS Checklist must complete the online Institution Registration Form. Instructions on how to complete the online Institution Registration Form is provided on the eRA Commons Online Registration Page. [Note: You must have a valid and verifiable DUNS number to complete the eRA Commons registration.] After the organization’s representative (AOR or BO) completes the online Institution Registration Form and clicks Submit, the eRA Commons will send an e-mail notification from xxx-xxxxxx@xxxx.xxx.xxx with the link to confirm the email address. Once the e-mail address is verified, the registration request will be reviewed and confirmed via email. If your request is denied, the representative will receive an email detailing the reason for the denial. If the request is approved, the representative will receive an email with a Commons User ID (with the Signing Official ‘SO’ role) and temporary password. The representative will need to log into Commons with the temporary password, at which time the system will provide prompts to change the temporary password to one of their choosing. Once the designated contact Signing Official (SO) signs the registration request, the organization will be active in Commons and any user with the SO role will be able to create and maintain additional accounts for the organization’s staff, including accounts for those designated as Program Directors.Registration
