How Funding Opportunities Work
<< previous · tutorial index · next >>
Independent of grant type, you will apply through a funding opportunity announcement (FOA) and will likely submit electronically.*
FOAs are Grants.gov notices of federal grant opportunities. For NIH, they can be program announcements or requests for applications.
Each FOA has its own grant application package.
Though most use the standard Application Guide, NIH issues an NIH Guide notice with important additional information.
Always read the FOA's Guide announcement to get key information you'll need to apply. The easiest way to find FOAs for NIAID is on our NIH Funding Opportunities Relevant to NIAID.
For investigator-initiated research -- a topic you chose yourself -- apply through a parent program announcement e.g., the Parent R01.
*A few grant types still use paper application. Go to NIH's Transition Timeline page.
For more information, go to Compare FOAs in the NIH Grant Cycle: Application to Renewal.
