have 90 days from issuance of the ALRD
Amendment 000010 to request their FY

receive a grant for FY 2022, FY 2023 or
FY 2024. New Grant Applicants will
have 90 days from issuance of the ALRD
Amendment 000010 to submit a grant
application for a FY 2025 allocation.
Several one-time actions, explained
below, must be completed before an
application can be submitted, including
registration with the System for Award
Management (SAM), obtaining a Unique
Entity Identifier (UEI), and registering
with FedConnect.net. These actions can
be completed prior to the issuance of
ALRD Amendment 000010. Prospective
New Grant Applicants are encouraged to
address these items as soon as possible,
as some may take several weeks to
complete. Additional instructions for
New Grant Applicants will be provided
in the ALRD Amendment 000010.

SAM—Applicants must register with
the SAM at: https://www.sam.gov/ prior
to submitting an application in response
to this ALRD. Designating an Electronic
Business Point of Contact (EBiz POC)
and obtaining a special password called
an MPIN are important steps in SAM
registration. The applicant must
maintain an active SAM registration
with current information at all times
during which it has an active Federal
award or an application under
consideration. More information about

entity registration record.
Note: Subawardees/subrecipients at all
tiers must also obtain an UEI from the SAM
and provide the UEI to the award recipient
before the subaward can be issued.
Note: Due to the high demand of UEI
requests and SAM registrations, entity legal
business name and address validations are
taking longer than expected to process.
Entities should start the UEI and SAM
registration process as soon as possible. If
entities have technical difficulties with the
UEI validation or SAM registration process
they should utilize the HELP feature on
SAM.gov. SAM.gov will address entity
service tickets in the order in which they are
received and asks that entities not create
multiple service tickets for the same request
or technical issue.
FedConnect.net—Applicants must
register with FedConnect to submit
applications in response to the ALRD, to
submit questions, and to receive the
award. FedConnect website: https://

in ALRD Amendment 000010) that did not receive a grant for FY 2022, FY
2023 or FY 2024. New Grant Applicants will have 90 days from issuance
of the ALRD Amendment 000010 to submit a grant application for a FY
2025 allocation. Several one-time actions, explained below, must be
completed before an application can be submitted, including
registration with the System for Award Management (SAM), obtaining a
Unique Entity Identifier (UEI), and registering with FedConnect.net.
These actions can be completed prior to the issuance of ALRD Amendment
000010. Prospective New Grant Applicants are encouraged to address
these items as soon as possible, as some may take several weeks to
complete. Additional instructions for New Grant Applicants will be
provided in the ALRD Amendment 000010.
Note: Neither applications nor allocation requests are being
accepted at this time.
The current ALRD (Amendment 000009) is available at: https://www.fedconnect.net/fedconnect/?doc=DE-FOA-0002736&agency=DOE.
New Grant Applicants must complete the following steps in order to
submit their application via FedConnect: https://www.fedconnect.net/fedconnect/?doc=DE-FOA-0002736&agency=DOE.
Pre-application actions: https://www.sam.gov/.
SAM--Applicants must register with the SAM at: https://www.sam.gov/
prior to submitting an application in response to this ALRD.
Designating an Electronic Business Point of Contact (EBiz POC) and
obtaining a special password called an MPIN are important steps in SAM
registration. The applicant must maintain an active SAM registration
with current information at all times during which it has an active
Federal award or an application under consideration. More information
about SAM registration for applicants is available at: https://www.fsd.gov/gsafsd_sp?id=gsafsd_kb_articles&sys_id=650d493e1bab7c105465

Note: If clicking the SAM links do not work, please copy and
paste the link into your browser.
UEI--Applicants must obtain an UEI from the SAM to uniquely
identify the entity. The UEI is available in the SAM entity
registration record.
Note: Subawardees/subrecipients at all tiers must also obtain
an UEI from the SAM and provide the UEI to the award recipient
before the subaward can be issued.
Note: Due to the high demand of UEI requests and SAM
registrations, entity legal business name and address validations
are taking longer than expected to process. Entities should start
the UEI and SAM registration process as soon as possible. If
entities have technical difficulties with the UEI validation or SAM
registration process they should utilize the HELP feature on
SAM.gov. SAM.gov will address entity service tickets in the order in
which they are received and asks that entities not create multiple
service tickets for the same request or technical issue.
FedConnect.net--Applicants must register with FedConnect to submit
applications in response to the ALRD, to submit questions, and to
receive the award. FedConnect website: https://www.fedconnect.net/. For
more information regarding registration with FedConnect, review the
FedConnect Ready, Set, Go! Guide at: https://www.fedconnect.net/FedConnect/Marketing/Documents/FedConnect_Ready_Set_Go.pdf.
