New Tool to Explore NIH Grant Opportunities

September 24, 2025

Familiarize yourself with the new Explore NIH Grant Opportunities tool. Use its NIH-specific filters, sort, and advanced search options to help you quickly identify funding opportunities posted on Grants.gov.

Starting in October 2025, Grants.gov is the single official source for NIH notices of funding opportunities (NOFOs). NIH will no longer post NOFOs in the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The NIH Guide will continue as your primary source for policy and informational notices.

We encourage you to use Grants.gov Subscriptions to get email notifications of new opportunities and custom search results. Direct any questions about Grants.gov search or subscriptions to the Grants.gov Support Center.

Try the Search Tips for NIH Opportunities to learn more about the new Explore tool and Grants.gov searches.
