About May 2026 Federal Grant Postings

Federal agencies post Notices of Funding Opportunity (NOFOs) throughout the year. Grants posted in May 2026 represent active funding from NIH, NSF, DOD, EPA, USDA, HHS, DOE, and other federal agencies. Each posting includes the award ceiling, eligibility requirements, and application deadline — all sourced directly from Grants.gov.

Newly posted grants are typically open for 30–90 days. High-priority programs from NIH and DOD often close faster — monitoring monthly postings ensures your organization does not miss time-sensitive opportunities. Bookmark this page and check back as new grants are added throughout the month.
