Grants.gov to actively reject submissions from organizations with expired CCR registration.

Please be advised that on August 9th, 2011, Grants.gov will implement a real-time registration confirmation with the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) system. (Per 2 CFR Part 25, all applicants must have current CCR status at the time of application and throughout the duration of any Federal award.)

Central Contractor Registration will now be checked at the time of every Grants.gov application submission. If your CCR registration is expired and you attempt to submit an application, you will receive a rejection email indicating that your CCR account is expired. Your organization will be required to go to CCR and renew the registration.

Applicants should verify their CCR status and renew registration if needed. You can check your CCR status at http://www.ccr.gov.
