Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA)

A Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is a formal document issued by a government agency or organization that describes a specific funding opportunity. It outlines the purpose of the grant, eligibility criteria, application process, deadlines, and requirements. Think of it as an invitation to submit a proposal for financial support to conduct research, projects, or initiatives aligned with the funder’s goals. The FOA helps applicants understand what the organization is looking for and how to apply properly to potentially receive funding.
