REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS There are several one-time actions required before submitting an Application in response to this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), as follows: Register and create an account on EERE Exchange at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/. This account will then allow the user to register for any open EERE FOAs that are currently in EERE Exchange. It is recommended that each organization or business unit, whether acting as a team or a single entity, use only one account as the contact point for each submission. The applicant will receive an automated response when the Concept Paper and Application are received. This will serve as a confirmation of receipt. Please do not reply to the automated response. The applicant will have the opportunity to re-submit a revised Concept Paper and Application for any reason as long as the relevant submission is submitted by the specified deadline. The Users’ Guide for Applying to the Department of Energy EERE Funding Opportunity Announcements is found at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/Manuals.aspx. The EERE Exchange registration does not have a delay; however, the remaining registration requirements below could take several weeks to process and are necessary in order for a potential applicant to receive an award under this announcement. Therefore, although not required in order to submit an Application through the EERE Exchange site, all potential applicants lacking a DUNS number, or not yet registered with SAM or FedConnect should complete those registrations as soon as possible. Questions related to the registration process and use of the EERE Exchange website should be submitted to: EERE-ExchangeSupport@hq.doe.gov. Obtain a Dun and Bradstreet Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number (including the plus 4 extension, if applicable) at http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform. Register with the System for Award Management (SAM) at https://www.sam.gov. Designating an Electronic Business Point of Contact (EBiz POC) and obtaining a special password called an MPIN are important steps in SAM registration. Please update your SAM registration annually. Register in FedConnect at https://www.fedconnect.net/. To create an organization account, your organization’s SAM MPIN is required. For more information about the SAM MPIN or other registration requirements, review the FedConnect Ready, Set, Go! Guide at https://www.fedconnect.net/FedConnect/PublicPages/FedConnect_Ready_Set_Go.pdf. Register in Grants.gov to receive automatic updates when Amendments to this FOA are posted. However, please note that applications, and/or concept papers will not be accepted through Grants.gov: http://www.grants.gov/. 2
