Unique Entity ID: A Unique Entity ID (UEI) issued through the System for Award Management (SAM) will be required instead of a DUNS number to receive funding. The UEI is entered in the Project Information section of the grant application. For more information and/or to obtain a UEI, please visit the following website. 2. System for Award Management (SAM) Registration: To enable NCC to report subawards in a timely manner, subrecipients are also required to register with the System for Award Management (SAM). SAM is a federally owned and operated free website, and it will be used to populate the information needed to report subaward information. In order to register, you must have a UEI number.

Grants may be funded in full or in part, based on the number of qualifying applications, available funding, and geographical representation.
