Much of the work of the Department of Energy's Office of Science (SC) is supported through grants and contractual vehicles. This work is processed through the Office of Science, Office of Grants and Contracts Support (GCS) which serves as the principal acquisition, financial assistance (grants and cooperative agreements) and contract/grant management advisor to the Director of Science.

The GCS provides independent analyses, advice and recommendations on procurement and assistance actions initiated by SC; identifies problem areas, opportunities and management issues and makes recommendations; serves as SC focal point in developing positions and responses to proposed Federal and DOE procurement and assistance regulations and business management policies and procedures; provides advice and guidance and serves as the SC focal point with Chicago operations offices, universities, contractors, grantees and other Government agencies on SC policies and strategies with respect to acquisition, financial assistance and contract/grant management issues.

Registration Requirements
The Office of Science requires the submission of all financial assistance applications through Grants.gov.

Grants.gov allows organizations to electronically find and apply for competitive grant opportunities from all Federal grant-making agencies. Grants.gov is THE single access point for over 1000 grant programs offered by the 26 Federal grant-making agencies.

There are several one-time actions you must complete in order to be able to submit an application through Grants.gov (e.g., obtain a Dun and Bradstreet Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number, register with the Central Contract Registry (CCR), register with the credential provider and register with Grants.gov). You must complete all the steps in "Get Started" at www.grants.gov prior to submitting your initial application. Applicants, who are not registered with CCR and Grants.gov, should allow 14 days to complete these requirements. It is suggested that the process be started as soon as possible.
