Dun and Bradstreet (D&B) Data 

Universal Numbering System (DUNS) 

Applicants and grantee organizations 

are required to obtain a DUNS number 

and maintain an active registration in 

the SAM database. The DUNS number 

is a unique 9-digit identification number 

provided by D&B that uniquely 

identifies each entity. The DUNS 

number is site specific; therefore, each 

distinct performance site may be 

assigned a DUNS number. Obtaining a 

DUNS number is easy, and there is no 

charge. To obtain a DUNS number, 

please access the request service 

through https://fedgov.dnb.com/ 

webform, or call (866) 705–5711. 

The Federal Funding Accountability 

and Transparency Act of 2006, as 

amended (‘‘Transparency Act’’), 

requires all HHS recipients to report 

information on sub-awards. 

Accordingly, all IHS grantees must 

notify potential first-tier sub-recipients 

that no entity may receive a first-tier 

sub-award unless the entity has 

provided its DUNS number to the prime 

grantee organization. This requirement 

ensures the use of a universal identifier 

to enhance the quality of information 

available to the public pursuant to the 

Transparency Act. 

System for Award Management (SAM) 

Organizations that are not registered 

with SAM must have a DUNS number 

first, then access the SAM online 

registration through the SAM home page 

at https://sam.gov (United States (U.S.) 

organizations will also need to provide 

an Employer Identification Number 

from the Internal Revenue Service that 

may take an additional 2–5 weeks to 

become active). Please see SAM.gov for 

details on the registration process and 

timeline. Registration with the SAM is 

free of charge, but can take several 

weeks to process. Applicants may 

register online at https://sam.gov. 

Additional information on 

implementing the Transparency Act, 

including the specific requirements for 

DUNS and SAM, are available on the 

DGM Grants Management, Policy Topics 

web page at https://www.ihs.gov/dgm/ 

policytopics/. 

V. Application Review Information 

Possible points assigned to each 

section are noted in parentheses. The 

project narrative and budget narrative 

should include only the first year of 

activities; information for multi-year 

projects should be included as a 

separate document. See ‘‘Multi-year 

Project Requirements’’ at the end of this 

section for more information. The 

project narrative should be written in a 

manner that is clear to outside reviewers 

unfamiliar with prior related activities 

of the applicant. It should be well 

organized, succinct, and contain all

D. Cost Principles: 

• Uniform Administrative 

Requirements for HHS Awards, ‘‘Cost 

Principles,’’ located at 45 CFR part 75 

subpart E. 

E. Audit Requirements: 

• Uniform Administrative 

Requirements for HHS Awards, ‘‘Audit 

Requirements,’’ located at 45 CFR part 

75 subpart F. 

F. As of August 13, 2020, 2 CFR 200 

was updated to include a prohibition on 

certain telecommunications and video 

surveillance services or equipment. This 

prohibition is described in 2 CFR 

200.216. This will also be described in 

the terms and conditions of every IHS 

grant and cooperative agreement 

awarded on or after August 13, 2020. 

2. Indirect Costs 

This section applies to all recipients 

that request reimbursement of IDC in 

their application budget. In accordance 

with HHS Grants Policy Statement, Part 

II–27, the IHS requires applicants to 

obtain a current IDC rate agreement and 

submit it to the DGM prior to the DGM 

issuing an award. The rate agreement 

must be prepared in accordance with 

the applicable cost principles and 

guidance as provided by the cognizant 

agency or office. A current rate covers 

the applicable grant activities under the 

current award’s budget period. If the 

current rate agreement is not on file 

with the DGM at the time of award, the 

IDC portion of the budget will be 

restricted. The restrictions remain in 

place until the current rate agreement is 

provided to the DGM. 

Per 45 CFR 75.414(f) Indirect (F&A) 

costs, ‘‘any non-Federal entity (NFE) 

[i.e., applicant] that has never received 

a negotiated indirect cost rate, . . . may 

elect to charge a de minimis rate of 10 

percent of modified total direct costs 

which may be used indefinitely. As 

described in Section 75.403, costs must 

be consistently charged as either 

indirect or direct costs, but may not be 

double charged or inconsistently 

charged as both. If chosen, this 

methodology once elected must be used 

consistently for all Federal awards until 

such time as the NFE chooses to 

negotiate for a rate, which the NFE may 

apply to do at any time.’’ 

Electing to charge a de minimis rate 

of 10 percent only applies to applicants 

that have never received an approved 

negotiated indirect cost rate from HHS 

or another cognizant federal agency. 

Applicants awaiting approval of their 

indirect cost proposal may request the 

10 percent de minimis rate. When the 

applicant chooses this method, costs 

included in the indirect cost pool must 

not be charged as direct costs to the 

grant. 

Available funds are inclusive of direct 

and appropriate indirect costs. 

Approved indirect funds are awarded as 

part of the award amount, and no 

additional funds will be provided. 

Generally, IDC rates for IHS grantees 

are negotiated with the Division of Cost 

Allocation at https://rates.psc.gov/ or 

the Department of the Interior (Interior 

Business Center) at https://ibc.doi.gov/ 

ICS/tribal. For questions regarding the 

indirect cost policy, please call the 

Grants Management Specialist listed 

under ‘‘Agency Contacts’’ or the main 

DGM office at (301) 443–5204. 

3. Reporting Requirements 

The grantee must submit required 

reports consistent with the applicable 

deadlines. Failure to submit required 

reports within the time allowed may 

result in suspension or termination of 

an active grant, withholding of 

additional awards for the project, or 

other enforcement actions such as 

withholding of payments or converting 

to the reimbursement method of 

payment. Continued failure to submit 

required reports may result in the 

imposition of special award provisions, 

and/or the non-funding or non-award of 

other eligible projects or activities. This 

requirement applies whether the 

delinquency is attributable to the failure 

of the awardee organization or the 

individual responsible for preparation 

of the reports. Per DGM policy, all 

reports must be submitted electronically 

by attaching them as a ‘‘Grant Note’’ in 

GrantSolutions. Personnel responsible 

for submitting reports will be required 

to obtain a login and password for 

GrantSolutions. Please see the Agency 

Contacts list in Section VII for the 

systems contact information. 

The reporting requirements for this 

program are noted below. 

A. Progress Reports 

Program progress reports are required 

quarterly. The progress reports are due 

within 30 days after the reporting period 

ends (specific dates will be listed in the 

NoA Terms and Conditions). For each of 

the Five Core projects and the Unmet 

Needs of the 4-in-1 grantees, provide 

thorough narratives of performance 

measures, outcomes, impacts, and 

achievements in the Progress Report, 

including measureable progress towards 

meeting goals and objectives for the 

cooperative agreement, and other 

pertinent information as required. A

days of expiration of the period of 

performance. 

B. Financial Reports 

Federal Cash Transaction Reports are 

due 30 days after the close of every 

calendar quarter to the Payment 

Management Services at https://

pms.psc.gov. Failure to submit timely

D. Federal Sub-Award Reporting System 

(FSRS) 

This award may be subject to the 

Transparency Act sub-award and 

executive compensation reporting 

requirements of 2 CFR part 170. 

The Transparency Act requires the 

OMB to establish a single searchable 

database, accessible to the public, with 

information on financial assistance 

awards made by Federal agencies. The 

Transparency Act also includes a 

requirement for recipients of Federal 

grants to report information about firsttier sub-awards and executive 

compensation under Federal assistance 

awards. The IHS has implemented a 

Term of Award into all IHS Standard 

Terms and Conditions, NoAs, and 

funding announcements regarding the 

FSRS reporting requirement. This IHS 

Term of Award is applicable to all IHS 

grant and cooperative agreements issued 

on or after October 1, 2010, with a 

$25,000 sub-award obligation threshold 

met for any specific reporting period. 

For the full IHS award term 

implementing this requirement and

VIII. Other Information 

The Public Health Service strongly 

encourages all grant, cooperative 

agreement, and contract recipients to 

provide a smoke-free workplace and 

promote the non-use of all tobacco 

products. In addition, Public Law 103– 

227, the Pro-Children Act of 1994, 

prohibits smoking in certain facilities 

(or in some cases, any portion of the 

facility) in which regular or routine 

education, library, day care, health care, 

or early childhood development 

services are provided to children. This 

is consistent with the HHS mission to
