SAMMI Is Coming!

Today NIH has announced the federal-wide transition from the DUN and Bradstreet Universal Numbering System (DUNS) as “the unique identifier” for PI and collaborators’ institutions/employers. This change will impact all federal applications and application systems, to include the NIH eRA Commons and Grants.gov.

The new system, SAMMI, will become the central repository in December of 2020.   A federal government-owned system, SAM.gov (System for Award Management) will become the central repository for the new SAMMI.  Assignment of the SAMMI will become part of the SAM registration process - no need to get an additional number from a non-federal source.  This action is completed and monitored on the Appalachian State University campus by Special Funds Accounting.

Updates and changes to agency policies and procedures will be forthcoming as we move toward the December 2020 implementation date.  Sponsored Programs will continue to provide new information as it becomes available.
