Grant applicants are encouraged to obtain a D-U-N-S number from Dun and Bradstreet. This number will be a requirement if the applicant applies on-line. It is a unique, nine-digit identification number, which provides unique identifiers of single business entities. The D-U-N-S number is free and easy to obtain.

To obtain a number please use this link, go to the D&B website, http://www.dnb.com.   Under Customer Resources, click the second bullet, “Get a D&B D-U-N-S number.” Follow the instructions from there.

If you do not have access to the web, please call D&B at 1-800-234-3867 to obtain a number by a different method.
