As of October 1, 2025, NIH no longer posts Notices of Funding Opportunity in the NIH Guide — Grants.gov is now the single official source (NOT-OD-25-143). The weekly Guide table-of-contents email that thousands of investigators relied on to discover funding no longer lists opportunities.

It's a phased R61/R33, up to $350,000 in direct costs per year, with the next application deadline September 17, 2026. Here is how the two-phase structure works, who's eligible, and how to build a proposal that survives the R61-to-R33 milestone gate.
