This is a federal grant announcement. Review these terms and key sections before you start drafting.
A NOFO is the official document a federal agency publishes to announce available grant funding. It is the rulebook for the grant — every requirement, restriction, and evaluation criterion lives in it. Other names for the same thing: FOA, RFA, PA, NOFA, SGA. (RFP usually means a contract, not a grant.)
Eligibility
Who can and cannot apply — confirm your organization type is explicitly listed. Many NOFOs restrict to 501(c)(3)s, specific entity types, or geographic areas.
Deadline
Note the full application deadline AND any required Letter of Intent (LOI) date, which is often 30–60 days earlier.
Funding Amount
Min/max award and total program funding — this sets your budget ceiling. Some NOFOs list an expected number of awards.
Required Attachments
Every form, biosketch, budget narrative, and letter of support — missing even one can trigger automatic rejection. Make a checklist.
Review Criteria
How the application is scored (e.g., 40% significance, 30% approach, 20% investigator, 10% environment). Weight your narrative toward the highest-scoring criteria.
Page Limits
Strict page or character limits per section — exceeding them can disqualify your application. Note the font size, margin, and formatting rules too.
Pro tip: Read the NOFO three times before writing. Most rejected applications fail because the applicant didn't follow the instructions — not because the project was bad.
