Open federal grants: Health
346 open opportunities as of Oct 16, 2026.
Independent platform. Not affiliated with or endorsed by any government agency. Data from public federal sources.
These are the open federal funding opportunities that Grants.gov files under the "Health" category. The category comes from the agency that posted the notice, so it is a broad grouping, not a promise about what a program will fund.
Each listing links to a summary page with the key facts and a direct link to the official notice. Check the eligible applicant types first, then the deadline and any cost sharing requirement, because those three facts rule out most opportunities quickly.
Opportunities in one category can come from several agencies, each with its own rules and review process. If you find a good fit, read the whole notice, including the evaluation criteria, before you start writing.
