Last verified by NonDilute: 2026-04-29. Official notices and agency instructions control.

The short version

1. Start with your technical domain, not the word "grant."
2. Check the agency most likely to own the mission: NASA for space, DoD for dual-use, NSF for broad deep tech, NIH for life sciences, DOE for energy and hard science.
3. Read the official notice, then the agency-specific instructions.
4. Look for hidden gates: Project Pitch, DSIP registration, LOI, eRA Commons, SAM.gov, UEI, or appendix-specific limits.
5. Save the deadline and set reminders before deciding whether to apply.
