Description:

HHS is the designated agency for the Grants Management Quality Service Management Office (Grants QSMO) to transform government-wide grants management end-to-end. Grants management centers on a government-to-citizen interaction to the delivery of an agency's mission. In fiscal year 2020, the federal response to COVID-19 increased government-wide grant funding objectives and presentation format (lecture, hands-on, etc…) from $750 billion to over $2 trillion through supplemental funding, in addition to other federal financial assistance payments and loans.

Despite recent progress to standardize business processes, data and adopt shared solutions, there remain significant opportunities for the Grants QSMO to improve the user experience and service quality for applicants, recipients, and agencies; streamline and modernize the expansive and aging grants system landscape; and better leverage the buying power of the government to access high quality shared solutions and reduce costs.
