Collaboration Details

Title of Collaborative Activity:

Funding Opportunity Announcement Module (FOAM)

Description of Collaborative Activity:

The Funding Opportunity Announcement Module (FOAM) allows National Institutes of Health (NIH) Institutes and Centers and Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Operating Divisions to develop content for and perform the needed approvals to publish funding opportunity announcements. The system has a flexible configuration to meet all of the needs for HHS Operating Divisions. In addition FOAM serves as a Federal Shared Service in collaboration with Grant Solutions supporting other agencies including Department of the Interior, Department of Housing and Urban Development, and Department of Homeland Security. FOAM achieves economies of scale by preventing the need for individual agencies to develop duplicate systems at a cost much greater than that of developing a unified system.
