Step 2: Find and Download Funding Opportunity Announcement
How do I find an NIH Grants.gov Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA)?
There are two ways to locate an NIH FOA
-
Grants.gov – To locate NIH FOAs available on Grants.gov access the Grants.gov search grant opportunities web site. You can then search for the specific FOA by:
-
Keyword
-
FOA Number
-
-
NIH – To locate NIH FOAs, go to the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts (NIH Guide)
-
Once in the NIH Guide, use the search screen to locate the specific FOA of interest.
-
Click on the button located in the FOA. This will take you to the Grants.gov web page specific to this FOA.
Note: Do not search for an NIH Grants.gov FOA by CFDA number.
Now that I have found the FOA, what is the next step?
After finding an FOA, the next step is to download and save the grant application package and instructions. To do this you must:
-
