A Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is a publicly available document by which a federal agency makes known its intentions to award discretionary grants or cooperative agreements. In the context of cancer research, FOAs are critical as they provide detailed information on the availability of funds, the specific areas of research that are being targeted, and the eligibility criteria for applicants. Organizations such as the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) frequently release FOAs to support groundbreaking research in cancer prevention, treatment, and cure.
