Funding Opportunity Announcement
A Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is a formal invitation from a government agency, organization, or institution inviting individuals or groups to apply for financial support for a specific project or research. It outlines the goals, eligibility criteria, application process, and deadlines. Essentially, it’s a detailed call for proposals, describing what kind of work is needed and how those interested can submit their plans to receive funding. Responding effectively to an FOA increases the chances of securing funding to carry out the proposed work.
