Dear NOAA Grantee and Prospective Applicant:
A new electronic grant applications program has been launched for the Federal Government. NOAA is proud to announce its partnership with Grants.gov and we want you and your organization to learn more about Grants.gov so that you can electronically Find, Apply, and Succeed!
Effective immediately, NOAA strongly recommends that your organization begin the process of registering with Grants.gov. You only have to register one time! (See below on how to register)
What is Grants.gov?
Grants.gov is the home of Federal government grant information and applications - it is now up and running! Two key features are ready for your use:
- Find Grant Opportunities
- Apply for Grants
The Grants.gov Find and Apply features simplifies the grants management process and creates a centralized, online process to find and apply for over 900 grant programs from the 26 Federal grant-making agencies.
Grants.gov streamlines the process of awarding over $350 billion annually to state and local governments, academia, not-for-profits and other organizations. This program is lead by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and is one of the President’s 24 Federal cross-agency E-Government initiatives focused on improving access to services via the Internet.
What is the Find feature?
The Find Grant Opportunities feature allows the grant community to search for information on available grant opportunities using a number of criteria, including key words or specific agency. It also includes a registration function to receive email updates as new grant opportunities are added. Federal agencies are required to post all competitive grant opportunities to the Grants.gov site.
