How Often Do I Need to Update My System of Awards Management (SAM) Registration?

Your SAM registration (formerly CCR registration) needs to be renewed at least annually. Remember, all registrations and renewals must be complete to submit an application to NIH.

NOTE: Once you update your record in SAM, it will take 48 to 72 hours to complete just like it did in CCR. You will be notified via email when the process is complete. SAM cannot expedite this process.
