Purpose

The purpose of this Notice is to inform recipient institutions of NIH extramural grant and cooperative agreement awards funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) that FederalReporting.gov (https://www.federalreporting.gov) is open for registration. Prime grantee institutions that received NIH ARRA awards must be registered prior to submitting the quarterly recipient reports required under ARRA. Institutions that are sub-recipients on NIH ARRA awards should only register if the prime recipient has delegated quarterly reporting responsibilities.

NIH strongly encourages grantee institutions to register well in advance of the October 1, 2009 reporting period. 
To register, you will need:

• Email address - Recipient Users must enter their valid email address to register as a user.
• DUNS number - Recipient Users must know their organization's DUNS number to register. If you need a DUNS number, visit D&B at http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform. DUNS number is required for both Prime Recipients and Sub-recipients.
• Central Contractor Registration (CCR) - Prime Recipients and designated Sub-recipients must be registered in CCR. Register with CCR at http://www.ccr.gov.

More information specific to NIH grants and Recovery Act quarterly reporting requirements is contained in Notice NOT-OD-09-129 and available on the NIH Recovery Act Recipient Reporting Web site at https://grants.nih.gov/recovery/recipient_reporting.html.
