Each federal agency and non-federal sponsor typically sets a specific date
by which a proposal/grant application is due.
National Institutes of Health
The NIH has established a cycle that is constant, with
the exception of one-time only RFP dates, and does not vary from year to year.

National Science Foundation
The National Science Foundation submission dates vary by program area.
Get the current NSF
schedule, or the E-Bulletin.
The E-Bulletin - a daily web-based bulletin that announces
key dates on which grant proposals are due at NSF for the current four months.
To ensure that the pre-award office with which you work has ample time to
review a proposal prior to submission, please provide that office with the
required information / copies at least three business days in advance of the
due date.
