Register with Credential Provider

To safeguard the security of electronic information, Grants.gov uses a Credential Provider to allow applicants to create a secured username and password. The Credential Provider for Grants.gov is Operational Research Consultants (ORC).

When you register with ORC, you will create a username and a password which allows you to register with Grants.gov as an Authorized Organization Representative (AOR). Remember to write down your username and password, you will need it to complete your registration, as well as you will use this information to submit all of your applications at Grants.gov.

After you have gotten your username and password, you will now need to create a profile at Grants.gov. Please refer to the Register with Grants.gov section to learn more about this step.
