Get Ready NOW To Apply for DOJ Funding

You must have active registrations in SAM.gov and Grants.gov before you can apply for Department of Justice funding opportunities.. If you’ve used these systems in the past, check that your registration and users are current.  

• Register today. You can register in SAM.gov and Grants.gov any time—you don’t have to wait until a funding opportunity is open. SAM.gov registrations expire after 12 months and must be renewed every year. Grants.gov accounts deactivate after a year of inactivity or if your SAM.gov registration expires.
• Update points of contact. Check and update your entity’s POCs in both systems now to prevent delays in completing your application—or miss the application deadline. 

For more tips on using SAM.gov and Grants.gov, visit the JustGrants Resources Application Submission Training page.
