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 establishment of the Grants QSMO in 2020, adoption of shared services has increased from 19% to 48% of 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.

$1
Trillion
In 2024, agencies distributed over $1 trillion in grants and cooperative agreements across 52 awarding agencies.1
As agencies have largely managed their grants internally, there has not been a concerted effort to coordinate across the federal grants management systems landscape until recently. Leveraging a shared services approach to address a disconnected systems environment at varying levels of maturity, and re-align the user experience to reduce burden for public applicants, recipients, and awarding agencies will:

  • Enhance Grants Transparency and Accountability
  • Reduce Cost and Delays due to Administrative Burden
  • Improve the Management of Grants Spending to Align with National Priorities
  • Improve the Grant Recipient and Public Experience
  • Strengthen Internal Controls and Oversight
  • Foster Innovation and Flexibility
  • Improve Data for Strategic Decision Making
