I thought that since the DUNS is linked to the FEID in the CCR for
grants.gov you had to have a unique DUNS.  Seems to be multiple numbers
could cause reporting problems later when FFATA gets going.

Subject: [RESADM-L] DUNS numbers

Can anyone educate me on the possibility or advisability of a single
institution (i.e. single EIN) using different DUNS numbers for different
purposes?  The specific issue is whether a single institution can or
should create a new DUNS number for the purpose of submitting federal
proposals and distinguishing submissions/grants from different divisions
within the institution.
I have been told that sometimes this is done by adding a suffix (e.g.
-0001) to the existing number.
Anyone done this?
thanks
Charlie Hathaway
