To do business with the State of Ohio, each grantee is required to have an OAKS Supplier/Vendor ID and provide banking information to receive payment. (If your organization currently receives payments from the Department or another state agency, it is likely you already have an OAKS Supplier/Vendor ID.)
If you do not have an OAKS Supplier/Vendor ID you will need to create a new account.
Allow 5 business days for the documents to be processed. You will be notified via email of your OAKS ID#. In you need additional information, please submit an inquiry via the “Contact Us” page or call 877-644-6771.

5. Assign Roles in OEDS
Roles are necessary to access funding applications, request grant money (project cash requests - PCR) and submit a final expenditure report (FER) in the CCIP e-grant system. The OEDS Administrator assigned to your organization has the authority to assign roles. Your organization must assign someone to the roles of Superintendent or CCIP Authorized Representative and Treasurer or CCIP Fiscal Representative. Typically, these roles are assigned to different individuals. We recognize that the structure of some organizations receiving a grant makes the separation of these duties a challenge.
After the CCIP related roles are assigned in OEDS, you will automatically be assigned the CCIP application tile. The tile may take up to 24 hours to appear in your OH|ID account.
- Access OEDS (Use you OH|ID user name and password to login).
- Instructions to add/assign the roles in OEDS.
- For help finding your organization’s OEDS Administrator or if the person is no longer with your organization, please reach out to your organization’s data custodian.
If you need additional assistance with this step, please feel free to reach out to the office of Grants Management at grants.management@education.ohio.gov
