How to Apply

  • 1

    Register for an NCID

    New DAQ Grants Management System users must first register for an individual NCID (How to Create a NCID) on the Identity Manager Dashboard (nc.gov) prior to requesting access to the DAQ Grants Management System.

    NCIDs must use the following format or your request for access will be denied. NCIDs with a company or organization name will not be accepted.

    • First name or initial
    • Middle initial (optional)
    • Last name
    • Number (if name is already in use)

    Example for John D. Doe, options for his NCID are:

    • Jdsmith
    • Johndsmith123
    • John.smith123

    The NCID and email used to register the NCID must also match the name and email address on your Enterprise Business Services External Request Application or the request will be denied. 

    Select NCDEQ - DEPT. OF AIR QUALITY from the dropdown menu. 

    Requests typically take up to a week to be processed. Do not wait until the week of the application deadline to request your NCID. We will not be able to guarantee you will have access before the application closes.

    Request access to the DAQ Grants Management System

    After submitting your NCID request, you must then complete and submit the online Enterprise Business Services External Request Application.

    You must also complete and email a State of North Carolina Substitute W-9 Form to daq.mscb.ncdaqgrants@deq.nc.gov to get registered in the DAQ Grants Management System. Federal W-9 forms will not be accepted.

    You will not have access to the Grants Management system until your request has been processed and you receive a “Welcome to Enterprise Business System (EBS) Portal” email.

    Third party GMS Access Authorization Forms

    In cases where the applicant has a third-party submitting applications on their behalf, the following procedures must be followed.

    1. Provide in an email along with your State of North Carolina W-9 (for your organization) authorizing the third-party to submit an application and/or reimbursement information on your behalf.
    2. The third-party will need to obtain their own NCID and complete the online Enterprise Business Services External Access Request Application with your organization’s address information and the third-party’s phone number and email address. The third-party should be listed as a contractor on the form.
