How to Forecast Potential Funding Opportunities in Grants.gov

You can search for potential funding opportunities that a federal agency plans to announce in the future by using the Grants.gov Search and checking “Forecasted” under Opportunity Status.

Agencies list opportunities as “forecasted” when funds are not yet available and are pending budgetary and discretionary spending approvals. Grants.gov encourages agencies to publish their forecasts in the Grants.gov Search; however, you may also find forecasted opportunities listed on the agency’s website.
