Re: DUNS numbers Robyn B. Remotigue 05 Jun 2008 11:30 EST
Carolyn is right. This can cause great difficulties for an institution. Years ago we found out that we have more than one on file and it caused delay in us receiving a major award from the government. We had to work with the CCR folks to get it corrected. Hope this helps. Robyn B. Remotigue, CRA Assistant Director Office of Sponsored Programs P.O.

For some reason we have several DUNS and this causes confusion and misreporting and we have to be careful to use the correct DUNS. If you've got an entity with a separate EIN, then a separate DUNS is in order. I think you want one DUNS per applicant, so unless your different divisions are legal applicants, stick to one DUNS. Why would you want separate DUNS? Perhaps someone else can offer sager advice than mine; I would be interested in hearing about others' experiences with DUNS. >>> xxxxxx@JAEB.ORG 6/5/2008 11:50:49 AM >>> 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. Lesley S.

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 ====================================================================== Instructions on how to use the RESADM-L Mailing List, including subscription information and a web-searchable archive, are available via our web site at http://www.hrinet.org (click on "Listserv Lists") ====================================================================== ====================================================================== Instructions on how to use the RESADM-L Mailing List, including subscription information and a web-searchable archive, are available via our web site at http://www.hrinet.org (click on "Listserv Lists") ====================================================================== ====================================================================== Instructions on how to use the RESADM-L Mailing List, including subscription information and a web-searchable archive, are available via our web site at http://www.hrinet.org (click on "Listserv Lists") ====================================================================== ====================================================================== Instructions on how to use the RESADM-L Mailing List, including subscription information and a web-searchable archive, are available via our web site at http://www.hrinet.org (click on "Listserv Lists") ======================================================================
