News and Updates
1. CCR is now SAM.gov! SAM.gov, or the System for Award Management, is the new federal web site to use to update your entity records, a task that you formerly did at CCR. SAM.gov will eventually combine 8 federal data systems into one central location. CCR was part of the first migration phase in July 2012. Go to www.sam.gov for more information, frequently asked questions, and SAM User Guides. (10/12)
2. Overview of Grants.gov/SAM/DUNS. The Federal government is increasingly relying on data from SAM.gov (formerly CCR) and DUNS to validate information related to grant recipients. As you know, an active registration in SAM.gov is required to submit an application, as well as receive an award and obtain funds. This brief overview will explain how each system works and what you need to do to register/maintain your various accounts. (10/12)
