Virtual or In-person training? Pros and Cons

SAM UPDATE REMINDER
The SAM.gov registration is transitioning away from using a DUNS number. If you are applying to a contracting agency, you must have your SAM registration indicate that you want to be eligible for both Grants and Contracts.
Starting in April 2022, the SAM registration will drop the DUNS number as part of the registration process and will issue a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI). SAM will be replacing DUNS on 4/2022 and will begin issuing the new UEI (Unique Entity Identifier), which is similar to a CAGE code, on 5/24/2021.
If you have any questions, contact BBCetc to get more information or clarification.
