Important information regarding the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and its implications for the University of Utah can be found here.  All University reporting required by the Act will be done centrally by either the Budget Office or Grants and Contracts Accounting.  Departments are not to register with the CCR (a federal database), obtain a DUNS number, register with FederalReporting.gov, or otherwise provide ARRA-related information outside the University.  At this point, we anticipate obtaining all needed information through existing systems and resources.  If those requirements change, we may request information from departments or principal investigators directly.  However, at this point in time, we do not have the need to do so.  If you have questions regarding the requirements or the impact on your department or faculty, please contact the Controller. 

Thank you and if you have questions, please let me know.  Please distribute this message to whomever you feel is appropriate.

   The Veterans Administration has previously requested separate DUNS numbers from individual University departments and colleges in order to facilitate billing. Departments are reminded that doing so is against University policy. Our financial system allows us to separately account for funds from various sources and a DUNS number is not required to accomplish this.
