The Department of Health and Human Services Grants Management Quality Services Management Office established a Marketplace of shared grants management solutions and is operationalizing a vision for federal grants that enables applicants, recipients, and federal awarding agencies to efficiently and effectively deliver on their missions. The Grants QSMO engages all 52 federal awarding agencies to ensure marketplace solutions and services align with their needs, challenges, and objectives.

Federal agencies, begin here - Find solutions and get help: Since the establishment of the Grants QSMO, adoption of shared services has increased from 19% to 48% of federal awarding agencies. To further help agencies, the Grants QSMO created the Catalog of Market Research consisting of commercial grants IT vendors vetted by a cross-government team to support agencies in selecting the most optimal grants management solution.

Why does it matter? Why does it matter?

Each year, the Federal government distributes over $1 trillion in grants and cooperative agreements across 52 awarding agencies1, representing one of the federal government’s largest investments to drive improvements for the American people. As agencies have largely managed their grants internally, there has not been a concerted effort to coordinate across the federal grants management systems landscape. This has resulted in a disconnected, aging systems environment made up of a myriad of systems with varying levels of maturity, as well as a fragmented user experience that increases the administrative burden for applicants, recipients, and awarding agencies. Key priorities here include:

  • Improving the Grant Recipient and Public Experience
  • Enhancing Grants Transparency and Accountability
  • Reducing Administrative Burden
  • Accelerating Time to Solution Deployment
  • Strengthening Internal Controls and Oversight
  • Fostering Innovation and Flexibility
  • Availability of Data for Strategic Decision Making
  • Promoting Interagency Collaboration
