All U.S. federal government agencies announce opportunities through Grants.gov. Opportunities are available here from many government agencies, including:
- National Institutes of Health (NIH)
- National Science Foundation (NSF)
- National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH)
- National Education Association (NEA)
- U.S. Department of Defense (DOD)
- U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)
The Office of Extramural Research (OER) at NIH is the best source for current news, alerts, deadlines, and notices. For information on the submission process, please see the Cayuse guidance.
Anyone may search Grants.gov for funding opportunities. However, to actually apply for an opportunity, individuals may be required to register with the sponsoring agency to obtain a username or ID and password. See Step 4. Submit Your Proposal for more information.
