Find Funding Opportunities
Beginning in FY26 (October 1, 2025), the NIH will no longer post notices of funding opportunities (NOFOs) in the NIH Guide. Instead, Grants.gov will serve as the NIH’s single official source for grant and cooperative agreement funding opportunities. For more information, see NOT-OD-25-143.
If you are interested in grants for behavioral research in cancer prevention and control, review this selection of current funding opportunity announcements.
In an effort to standardize terminology across the government, NIH is joining other federal agencies in using the term notice of funding opportunities (NOFOs) rather than funding opportunity announcements (FOAs). You will see both terms in use while we work to update our websites and resources.

DCCPS uses activity codes (e.g., R01, R21, etc.) to differentiate the research-related programs we support. NIH provides a full list of activity codes and descriptions.
Relevant Notice of Funding Opportunities (NOFOs) supported by DCCPS indicate whether clinical trials are Required, Optional or Not Allowed. Applications involving one or more clinical trials must be submitted through a NOFO that explicitly states one of the following in the title and in Section II: Clinical Trial Required or Clinical Trial Optional.
