Appendix C: Instructions on How To 

Secure a DUNS Number 

The SF424 and SF424 sup forms will 

require you to specify a DUNS number that 

will allow the Federal government to track 

how Federal grant money is allocated. 

All applicants applying to administer the 

Fellowship Placement Pilot Program are 

required to get a DUNS number. For the SF– 

424 form, if an applicant is applying as a 

partnership, only the lead third party’s DUNS 

number should be listed. 

A DUNS number identifies your 

organization, and it is very easy to secure 

one. 

Below are the brief instructions on how to 

secure a DUNS number. To view these 

instructions online, you can also visit: 

http://www.grants.gov/applicants/ 

org_step1.jsp 

Has my organization identified its Data 

Universal Number System (DUNS)? 

Ask the grant administrator, chief financial 

officer, or authorizing official of your 

organization to identify your DUNS number. 

If your organization does not know its 

DUNS number or needs to register for one, 

visit Dun & Bradstreet Web site: Register or 

search for a DUNS number: http:// 

fedgov.dnb.com/webform/ 

displayHomePage.do [EXIT Disclaimer] 

Purpose of This Step 

The federal government has adopted the 

use of DUNS numbers to track how federal 

grant money is allocated. DUNS numbers 

identify your organization. 

How long should it take? 

If requested over the phone, DUNS is 

provided immediately. Webform requests 

take 1 to 2 business days. 

What is a DUNS number and why do I need 

obtain one? 

The Data Universal Number System 

(DUNS) number is a unique nine-character 

number that identifies your organization. It is 

a tool of the federal government to track how 

federal money is distributed. Most large 

organizations, libraries, colleges and research 

universities already have DUNS numbers. 

Ask your grant administrator or chief 

financial officer to provide your 

organization’s DUNS number. 

List of Information you will need to obtain 

a DUNS number (if your organization does 

not already have one): 

• Name of organization 

• Organization address 

• Name of the CEO/organization owner 

• Legal structure of the organization 

(corporation, partnership, 

proprietorship) 

• Year the organization started 

• Primary type of business 

• Total number of employees (full and part 

time) 

If your organization does not have a DUNS 

number, use the Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) 

online registration to receive one free of 

charge. 

If your organization is located outside the 

United States, you can request and register 

for a DUNS number also online via web 

registration. 

Note: Obtaining a DUNS number places 

your organization on D&B’s marketing list 

that is sold to other companies. You can 

request not to be added to this list during 

your application.
