Federal Register's Grants.gov Early Registration Notice

On March 10, 2008, the Federal Register released their Notice of Fiscal Year (FY) 2008 Opportunity To Register Early and Other Important Information for Electronic Application Submission Via Grants.gov. This notice provides instructions to potential applicants applying for funding under HUD's grant programs available through Grants.gov, including OUP's grant programs.

Through this notice, HUD is encouraging applicants to complete or update their Grants.gov registration, in advance of HUD posting its FY08 grant opportunities. HUD found that issuing an Early Registration Notice eliminates many last minute registration issues, and allows applicants time to ensure that all steps in the registration process have been completed. This Notice also provides time for applicants to have their questions addressed regarding the registration and submission processes.

HUD strongly encourages prospective applicants for FY08 HUD grants to register or update/renew their registration for application submission via Grants.gov as soon as possible by following the instructions in this notice. HUD anticipates that it will post its funding opportunities in the spring of 2008.

For further information, please contact the Office of Departmental Grants Management and Oversight at (202) 708–0667. Persons with hearing or speech impairments may access this number via TTY by calling the Federal Information Relay Service at (800) 877–8339.
