Status:

Is the funding opportunity active, or expired, notices don't have expiration dates so they never expire.

Issuing Organization:

Acronyms that represent the responsible organization for issuing the announcement. See the listing of Organizations Issuing and Participating in NIH Guide Announcements. Note that many announcements also include other Participating Organizations. If you wish to include participating in your query, check the box below.

Include Participating:

Application Packages:

424s are Electronic, 398s are paper based application forms.

Released Date:

On or After

Date of publication in the NIH Guide.

Expiration Date:

On or After

Requests for Applications (RFAs) - The Expiration Date for RFAs is generally one day after the last receipt date. Once an RFA expiration date is reached, applications relating to the RFA will no longer be accepted by the NIH.

Program Announcements (PAs) - In general, PAs are active for up to 3 years (9 submission cycles) beyond the initial Release Date. Most PAs issued in 2001 or later will have a specific Expiration Date listed near the top of the document. Those that do not have a date specified in the announcement have been set to expire 3 years after the Release Date, unless an alternate date has been provided by the issuing organization. Once the expiration date is reached, applications should no longer be submitted for the PA. If an application is submitted that cites an expired PA, it may be delayed in the review process or returned without review.

Important: Note that a PA Expiration Date may not coincide exactly with the actual final submission date for the PA. Applicants should refer to the Submission Dates/Deadlines page for the final submission date that precedes the stated expiration date, based on the Mechanism(s) of Support shown in the PA.

Notices - All Notices are considered active since they do not have specific expiration dates.

Activity Code:

This is a 3-digit code (e.g. R01) that identifies the specific extramural grant funding mechanism (type of grant program). See Types of Grant Programs page for a listing of NIH Activity Codes. In addition, a comprehensive list of all activity codes is available. Some funding opportunities may have multiple associated Activity Codes. This field is populated for all active RFAs and PAs.

Activity Code Groups:

A 3-digit code (e.g. R01) identifies the specific extramural grant funding mechanism (type of grant program). You may type in the first letter of the code to get broader results. For example, searching for just R will get you R01, R02, R03. In addition, a comprehensive list of all activity codes is available. Some funding opportunities may have multiple associated Activity Codes. This field is populated for all active RFAs and PAs.

Include: Notices FOAs

Parent Announcements Only:

Also known as unsolicited or investigator-initiated. All electronic applications must be submitted in response to a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). NIH and other HHS Agencies have developed omnibus Parent announcements for common grant mechanisms that have transitioned to electronic submission, for use by applicants who wish to submit what were formerly termed "unsolicited" or "investigator-initiated" applications. This query feature will identify Parent Announcements in the NIH Guide. Also see the Parent Announcements page for a list of current Parent Announcements and further information.
