Frequently asked questions
Does Grant Finder Pro cover NIH and NSF grant opportunities?
Yes. We integrate directly with NIH's funding opportunities feed and Grants.gov, which covers NSF, DOE, DOD, and dozens of other agencies. New opportunities are indexed every 6 hours from official sources.
Can postdocs and early-career researchers use Grant Finder Pro?
Absolutely. You can specify your career stage in your profile and we'll surface fellowships, career development awards (K-series, CAREER), and mechanisms appropriate for your stage — not just R01s.
How does the matching work for research grants?
You tell us your research focus areas (e.g., neuroscience, materials science), organization type (university, research institute), and eligibility (R&D focus). We score every incoming grant against your profile and surface the most relevant ones first.
Do I need SAM.gov registration to apply for research grants?
Most federal research grants require your institution to have an active SAM.gov registration and a Unique Entity ID (UEI). Grants submitted through Grants.gov also require institutional registration. Individual fellowships (like NIH F-series) have separate requirements.
How current is the grant data?
We pull from live API feeds from Grants.gov, NSF, and NIH every 6 hours. When a new FOA or RFP is posted, it typically appears in your matches within hours — not days.
