Purpose

As of October 1, 2024, NIH now includes a new Funding Opportunity Goals section in Part I. Overview Information in newly published notices of funding opportunities (NOFOs).

These changes were made in accordance with OMB Memorandum M-22-02, New Financial Assistance Transparency Reporting Requirements.

NIH supports the scientific integrity and transparency of all NIH funded projects throughout the funding life cycle of an award.  The new Funding Opportunity Goals text provides the respective program AL Number objective(s) which aligns with award information that is reported in the Tracking Accountability in Government Grants System (TAGGS) as well as USASpending.gov.
