JustGrants News and Notices
- Due to planned DOJ financial management system upgrades, JustGrants will be unavailable for users until 10 a.m. ET on May 18. See the April 27 JustGrants News & Updates for more information.
- GSA’s new process to validate an entity’s legal business name and address when completing a SAM.gov registration is taking longer than expected (in some cases more than 10 business days). OJP recommends starting your SAM.gov registration as soon as possible to allow the time necessary to process entity validations well in advance of a solicitation’s Grants.gov due date. Learn more in this FAQ.
