Catalog of
Federal Domestic Assistance
The CFDA is a list of all federal assistance categories under which individual
federal grants are funded; thus, each federal grant is assigned a CFDA number.
Since the CFDA listing is a generic description of the federal assistance
category, multiple grants may share a CFDA number. The first digits in a CDFA
number designate the funding agency; for example, NIH CDFA numbers begin with
"93", which is the number assigned to US Health and Human Services. When you
find a CFDA category of interest, you must then go to the actual agency site to
see if specific grant opportunities within that funding category are open. Note
that even though many funding opportunities have been discontinued or are
inactive, the CFDA number and category of funding will continue to be listed.
NIH
Funding
At this site, you can search for past and current NIH opportunities. You also
can subscribe to the weekly NIH funding alert LISTSERV. Emails arrive each
Friday.
The Foundation Center
The Foundation Center is a non-profit organization with information about
private and corporate foundations. Through the Foundation Center site, you can
view a non-profit's IRS 990-PF tax form, which lists exactly who it's funded and
for how much. This information will give you a clearer picture of the
organization's resources and priorities, for example, if they fund
university-based research or other projects. The State Library has full FC
funding search capacity on-site at Bull and Senate Streets for more complex
non-profit searches.
