Most of the federal agencies provide tips for preparing your application, links to currently funded grants, and descriptive guides about what types of research and other program activities they are likely to fund.<\/p>\n<p>Below are links to some of the larger federal agencies and departments.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nsf.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">National Science Foundation<\/a>.
