The Federal awarding agency may make a determination to have a less than 60 calendar day availability period but no funding opportunity should be available for less than 30 calendar days unless exigent circumstances require as determined by the Federal awarding agency head or delegate.” <a href="https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?SID=ce34be8ce1f120d3001d7331cf83a6f8&mc=true&node=pt2.1.200&rgn=div5#se2.1.200_1203" target="_blank" rel="noopener">§200.203(b)</a></p> <p>A reasonable follow-up question to this is what to do if you would like to begin working on a grant application more than two months in advance.</p> <p><img data-attachment-id="1829" data-permalink="https://grantsgovprod.wordpress.com/2017/02/28/grant-writing-basics-look-for-the-little-details/grant-writing-basics-icon/" data-orig-file="https://grantsgovprod.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/grant-writing-basics-icon.png" data-orig-size="3600,3600" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="grant-writing-basics-icon" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://grantsgovprod.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/grant-writing-basics-icon.png?w=300" data-large-file="https://grantsgovprod.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/grant-writing-basics-icon.png?w=648" loading="lazy" class=" size-medium wp-image-1829 aligncenter" src="https://grantsgovprod.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/grant-writing-basics-icon.png?w=300&h=300" alt="grant writing basics icon" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://grantsgovprod.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/grant-writing-basics-icon.png?w=600 600w, https://grantsgovprod.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/grant-writing-basics-icon.png?w=300 300w, https://grantsgovprod.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/grant-writing-basics-icon.png?w=150 150w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></p> <p> <a href="https://grantsgovprod.wordpress.com/2018/06/25/grant-writing-basics-how-to-start-working-on-future-funding-opportunities/#more-3836" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Grant Writing Basics: How to Start Working on Future Funding Opportunities</span></a></p> </div> <footer class="entry-footer"> <span class="cat-links">Posted in <a href="https://grantsgovprod.wordpress.com/category/applicants/" rel="category tag">Applicants</a>, <a href="https://grantsgovprod.wordpress.com/category/learngrants/grant-writing-basics/" rel="category tag">Grant Writing Basics</a></span><span class="tags-links">Tagged <a href="https://grantsgovprod.wordpress.com/tag/grant-forecast/" rel="tag">Grant Forecast</a>, <a href="https://grantsgovprod.wordpress.com/tag/grant-writer/" rel="tag">Grant Writer</a>, <a href="https://grantsgovprod.wordpress.com/tag/search-for-grants/" rel="tag">Search for Grants</a>, <a href="https://grantsgovprod.wordpress.com/tag/uniform-guidance/" rel="tag">Uniform Guidance</a>, <a href="https://grantsgovprod.wordpress.com/tag/usaspending-gov/" rel="tag">USAspending.gov</a></span><span class="comments-link"><a href="https://grantsgovprod.wordpress.com/2018/06/25/grant-writing-basics-how-to-start-working-on-future-funding-opportunities/#comments">7 Comments</a></span> </footer> </article> <article id="post-3606" class="post-3606 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-applicants category-grant-writing-basics tag-funding-opportunity-announcement-foa tag-grant-writer tag-tips"> <header class="entry-header"> <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="https://grantsgovprod.wordpress.com/2018/04/02/demystifying-funding-opportunity-announcements-on-grants-gov-grant-writing-basics/" rel="bookmark">Demystifying Funding Opportunity Announcements on Grants.gov—Grant Writing Basics</a></h2> <div class="entry-meta"> <span class="posted-on">Posted on <a href="https://grantsgovprod.wordpress.com/2018/04/02/demystifying-funding-opportunity-announcements-on-grants-gov-grant-writing-basics/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published" datetime="2018-04-02T04:00:25-04:00">April 2, 2018</time><time class="updated" datetime="2018-04-03T12:59:11-04:00">April 3, 2018</time></a></span><span class="byline"> by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://grantsgovprod.wordpress.com/author/grantsgovprod/">Grants.gov</a></span></span> </div> </header> <a class="post-thumbnail" href="https://grantsgovprod.wordpress.com/2018/04/02/demystifying-funding-opportunity-announcements-on-grants-gov-grant-writing-basics/"> </a> <div class="entry-content"> <p>It is easy to be intimidated when you first encounter a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) on Grants.gov.</p> <p>There are the four tabs of content.
