System for Award Management (SAM) FAQs

JustGrants uses SAM as the primary source of agency information in applying for and managing DOJ grant funding.

In JustGrants, an applicant and/or award recipient organization is called an “entity,” and information in an entity’s SAM registration is automatically updated in JustGrants. Therefore, maintaining an updated registration in SAM.gov is critical to an entity’s ability to apply, receive funding, and register in both the Automated Standard Application for Payments (ASAP) and JustGrants systems.

Visit the Resources for Using SAM page to learn more.

For any inquiries related to your SAM account, please use the resources available on SAM.gov and/or contact the SAM Service Desk (Federal Service Desk) for assistance.
