Other Key Dates (see below for additional information) <br />The chart below outlines suggested/estimated deadlines for completing the six steps <br />required for a successful application submission prior to the deadline. These dates are only <br />recommendations as applicants are responsible for planning far enough in advance to <br />complete their application. The requirements outlined in the chart below are outside of <br />DHS/FEMA's purview. Therefore, DHS/FEMA does not guarantee the timeframes for <br />completing those processes. Failure of an applicant to comply with any of the required <br />steps before the deadline for submitting their application may disqualify their application <br />from funding. <br />Applicants are encouraged to register early for Authorized Organizational <br />Representative (AOR) authorization. The registration process can take four weeks or <br />more to be completed. Therefore, registration should be done in sufficient time to <br />ensure it does not impact your ability to meet required submission deadlines. <br />Task <br />Suggested timeframe for completion of <br />task to meet submission deadline <br />Obtaining DUNS Number <br />April 21, 2015 <br />Obtaining valid EIN <br />April 21, 2015 <br />Updating SAM registration <br />April 21, 2015 <br />Establishing an Authorized Organizational Representative <br />April 21, 2015 <br />(AOR) in Grants.gov <br />Submitting an initial application in Grants. go v <br />May 9, 2015 <br />*Applicants will receive an electronic <br />message confirming eligibility and <br />approval to submit a full application. <br />Submitting the IJ in the Grants Reporting Tool (GRT) <br />May 9, 2015 <br />Address to Request Application Package <br />Application forms and instructions are available at Grants.gov.
