This page lists every National Institutes of Health funding opportunity in our database that is open for applications right now. National Institutes of Health posts its grant and cooperative agreement notices on Grants.gov, and we copy the public details from there each day.
National Institutes of Health is part of the Department of Health and Human Services. Each listing below links to a summary page with the deadline, award range, eligible applicant types and the assistance listing number, plus a direct link to the official notice. The official notice is the only source that counts, so read it in full before you start an application.

Does it cost anything to apply for a federal grant?
Searching for and applying to federal grants on Grants.gov is free. Be wary of anyone who asks for a fee to "release" a grant or guarantees an award.
How current is this information?
