Questions

When do health care grants close?

The next deadline is October 22, 2026 for DoW Arthritis Clinical Research Award. 4 programs take applications at any time.

Who funds community health centers?

HRSA is the main federal funder, and health foundations such as the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation fund community health work.

Do I have to pay to apply for a grant?

No. Real grant programs never charge to apply or to receive an award. Anyone asking for a fee before you get grant money is running a scam.
