<p class="MsoNormal">For many years, the NIH and other federal agencies have required organizations to obtain a Dun & Bradstreet DUNS number issued as part of the registration process to apply for and receive federal funding.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">By April 2022, the federal government will phase out the use of DUNS numbers and move to a 12-character
<b>unique entity identifier (UEI)</b> created in SAM.gov. This transition, led by the General Services Administration, streamlines SAM.gov registration for new entities and eliminates the need to work through Dun & Bradstreet for ongoing entity management.<o:p></o:p></p>
