Federal Funding Sources
Most federal programs accept applications only in response to specific announcements. These announcements are usually made on a regular schedule (e.g., once a year in October, every other year in the spring, etc.). Often there are few changes in the announcements from one year to the next, so you can use the previous one as your guide in planning. However, it will pay to contact the program officer - identified on the web site - a month or so before the announcement is expected to ask if he/she is expecting any changes.
You may find one or more of the following sites helpful in identifying
an appropriate federal program.
