How Can I Find Funding Opportunities Now That They Are Not in the NIH Guide?
You have two options to find Notices of Funding Opportunities: search on Grants.gov or use NIH’s new Explore NIH Opportunities tool. The NIH tool includes additional options for NIH-specific filters, sorting, and advanced search.

Explore NIH Grant Opportunities

Researchers can use the NIH-specific filters in this search tool to quickly identify potential funding opportunities of interest in Grants.gov. Starting in October 2025, Grants.gov is the single official source for NIH grant opportunities. Use Grants.gov Subscriptions for notifications of new opportunities. Find NIH Parent Announcements and check Search Tips for NIH Opportunities.
