As of October 2003, departments applying for Federal grant programs must have a D-U-N-S® number. The Federal government uses the D-U-N-S® number to identify organizations that are applying for grant funding and to provide consistent name and address data for electronic grant applications. D-U-N-S® numbers are issued by the Dun & Bradstreet Corporation.
