Forms for Grants (Business Programs)
Go to RD-Oregon Business Programs homepage
All RD grant and guaranteed loan
applicants must have a Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) Data Universal Numbering Systems number
("DUNS number") when applying. A DUNS number is a
requirement
for virtually all applicants for Federal financial assistance.
If you already have a DUNS number, you don't need to get a new one. To
obtain this number, call D&B’s Federal Registration Department
toll-free at 1-866-705-5711 and ask for a DUNS number. It’s free &
takes only 5 minutes. A D&B agent will ask for some basic information
and then assign you a DUNS number over the phone. You may also obtain a
DUNS number online --
http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform -- but we do not recommend this because we
have heard of instances where parties have had to pay to get their DUNS number.
All RD grant applicants must be registered in the
Central Contractor Registration (CCR). CCR registration is a
requirement
for virtually all parties seeking Federal financial assistance, not just
government contractors.
In order to register, you will first need a DUNS number (see above).
To complete a CCR registration, go to
http://www.ccr.gov , create an account (ID and password), and provide the
required information (including DUNS#, Tax ID#, statistical information about
your business, and Electronic Funds Transfer Information for payments). It
takes 1-3 days for CCR registration to take effect, so please do not put this
off. If your are already registered in CCR, be sure your information is
current and accurate. If you receive an RD award, you must keep your CCR
information current, updating it at least annually, until your award project is
complete.
