Obtaining a Unique Entity Identifer

Should your proposal be funded, please be advised: any entity receiving Federal Funds in any amount is required by the Federal Government to obtain a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) from the System for Award Management (SAM). If you have previously registered with SAM, and your registration is active, you will have automatically been assigned a UEI by SAM. If you have not previously registered, a UEI can be obtained at no-cost by visiting SAM.gov.

A UEI is required before we can establish your Subaward Agreement or Subaward Service Agreement; therefore, we encourage you to begin the process as soon as you learn your proposal will be funded.   Please note: the UEI is NOT required to APPLY for a Western SARE grant.

For your convenience, please review the SAM.gov Quick Start Guide for Grantee Registrations.

If you have questions, please contact subawards@montana.edu.
