Science geek who believes science is for everyone! ALL should be included in the scientific process! All views shared are personal.
Finally, the very bottom of the NOFO lists a bunch of contacts that can help applicants out. Scientific questions go to the Program Officers, Budget questions go to Grants Management, and review questions go to the Scientific Review Officers.

Just as important as the submission criteria are the review criteria. Applicants should keep these in mind, as these are the guidelines the reviewers follow when judging the scientific merit of the applications.

The next section covers the goals. They are pretty broad for the R01, but may be more specific for other NOFOs. Does your research align with the stated goals? If not, it may not be a good fit for this opportunity.

There may be related NOFOs, that will be linked just below the title, related notices, and NOFO number.

Next, you can tell if this NOFO is new or reissued, and any connected announcements by looking at this info, which includes the title of the NOFO and whether or not the NOFO allows clinical trials.

The first step is making sure that the institute that supports your research area has signed on to that NOFO. That is the list you see at the top of the announcement. If you don’t see your favorite listed on a NOFO, you will want to talk to the program officer.
