The National Institutes of Health (NIH) released its first Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) under the new Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) SimplerNOFO initiative, which aims to make funding opportunities more accessible, understandable, and actionable for applicants. Some key elements of the SimplerNOFO approach include: easier identification of key requirements; standardized structure and formatting across HHS agencies; plain language and reduced jargon throughout the NOFO, including in the instructions; shorter, more focused application guidance.
