Federal Funding Opportunities
Most U.S. federal agencies publish funding opportunities through Grants.gov, FedConnect, or SAM.gov.

These same opportunities (and many more) are consolidated in Pivot, the database of funding announcements and scholar profiles.
Anyone may search for funding opportunities on Grants.gov, FedConnect, SAM.gov, etc. However, to submit an application, individuals may need to register with the sponsoring agency to obtain the required credentials (e.g., username, ID, or password).
