As of 10/1/25, NIH will post NOFOs to Grants.gov

As you may have seen announced in NOT-OD-25-143, NIH will no longer post notices of funding opportunities (NOFOs) in the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts beginning on October 1, 2025. Instead, NIH will post NOFOs to Grants.gov. Please note that the NIH Guide will still be used for policy and informational notices. Additional information on the transition can be found on the NIH Grants & Funding site.

There is now an Explore NIH Grant Opportunities tool to help you quickly identify funding opportunities posted on Grants.gov. The Explore NIH Grant Opportunities tool provides NIH-specific filters, table sorting, and advanced search options, including keyword searches. For example, you can find NIA NOFOs by selecting NIA via a checkbox under “Funding Organization(s).”
