Notice of Funding Opportunity
NOFO (Notice of Funding Opportunity) is the announcement published on Grants.gov inviting applications for federal grants and cooperative agreements. Replaced the older term FOA (Funding Opportunity Announcement).
(Notice of Funding Opportunity) is a process concept federal contractors and grant writers run into across solicitations, regulations, and award filings
NOFO is a step or workflow in the federal-procurement lifecycle. Knowing where NOFO fits in the larger acquisition arc — from market research through award through performance — helps contractors time their engagement, identify the right contracting officials, and avoid showing up too late to influence the requirement. Many proposal failures trace back to misunderstanding when NOFO occurs, who owns it, and what artifacts it produces. The related terms above name the adjacent process steps that most commonly precede or follow NOFO, and tracking those transitions over time is one of the more reliable ways to build pipeline visibility ahead of formal solicitations.
