We’ve been hearing it a lot lately:
“It feels like there’s less funding out there…”
“I haven’t seen anything new on Grants.gov or SAM.gov in weeks…”
“Is federal funding drying up?”
Let us put your mind at ease: Federal funding is still very much alive and well. But here’s the kicker: you may not be looking in the right places.
Due to delays, inconsistencies, and in some cases outright gaps in postings on Grants.gov and SAM.gov, many key opportunities simply aren’t showing up where you’d normally expect them. That doesn’t mean they don’t exist. It just means they’re hiding in plain sight… elsewhere.
What’s going on?
For reasons not entirely explained (and likely a cocktail of inter-agency logistics and under-the-hood tech issues), not all open funding opportunities are being listed where they traditionally would be. This includes high-value SBIR/STTR solicitations and other federal innovation programs.
No worries. We’ve taken matters into our own hands, at E.B. Howard Consulting, we’ve been bypassing the bottlenecks by going directly to the source. Agency by Agency, Website by Website. It’s tedious. It’s time-consuming. And yes, it occasionally requires decoding agency-speak. But it works.
Our clients are still getting access to current, active, and relevant opportunities, because we’re not waiting for Grants.gov to get its act together.
Here’s the bottom line:
If you’re relying on a single source to find funding opportunities right now, you may be missing out. Big time. Our team can help you navigate this messy moment and make sure you’re seeing what’s actually available, not just what’s conveniently posted.
