Systems and Tools Supporting Federal Awards

The following systems and tools are involved in the registration, application, and reporting processes connected to federal grant awards. (Note: This is not an exhaustive list.)

Certain government-wide systems are used for different purposes across the grants process, such as finding and applying for federal grants or submitting single audits.


  • SAM.gov

    The System for Awards Management is where entities applying to receive awards from the U.S. Federal Government must register. SAM.gov allows applicants to look-up or request a unique UEI (SAM) number, which is required when registering on Grants.gov.

  • Grants.gov

    Grants.gov is the single government point of entry for publishing Federal government discretionary grant and cooperative agreement Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs)/Notices of Funding Opportunities (NOFOs).

  • FFATA Subaward Reporting System (FSRS)

    FSRS is the reporting tool federal prime grants recipients use to capture and report sub-award and executive compensation data regarding their first-tier sub-awards to meet FFATA and DATA Act reporting requirements.

  • Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC)

    The Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) is the place to submit and review federal grant audits; helping auditors and auditees minimize the reporting burden of complying with Single Audit requirements.

  • USASpending

    USASpending.gov is a single, searchable website accessible to the public listing information about every federal award, as required by the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) of 2006.

Award management systems connect the grant application, management, reporting, and closeout processes.
