UArizona's Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) Just Issued

University of Arizona
The UEI has been issued to UArizona: ED44Y3W6P7B9.
 
The UEI has been auto-populated in most Grants.gov applications and can be found on the UA’s Institutional Information  page. 
 
By April 2022, the federal government will stop using the DUNS number to uniquely identify entities registered in the System for Award Management (SAM). At that point, entities doing business with the federal government will use a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) created in SAM.gov. They will no longer have to go to a third-party website to obtain their identifier. Active registrants will have their UEI assigned and viewable within SAM.gov; there is no action for registered entities to take at this time. This transition allows GSA to streamline the entity identification and validation process, making it easier and less burdensome for entities to do business with the federal government.
