SAM Validation Is Returning to Grants.gov in January

Starting at 12:01 a.m. ET on Jan. 18, 2025, fully registered and active SAM.gov accounts will once again become a baseline system requirement for submitting applications for funding opportunities on Grants.gov.

Grants.gov advises prospective applicants to begin registration and renewal processes today, as they can take a few weeks to complete.

Further updates about the transition will be emailed and posted on the website in the coming weeks.
