Office of Grants Policy, Oversight and Evaluation

The Office of Grants Policy, Oversight, and Evaluation (OGPOE) formulates Department-wide grants policies including uniform administrative rules and provides oversight and review on implementation of HHS grant policy. OGPOE provides coordinated leadership in cost policy management and Department-wide cost policies and procedures affecting assistance awards. The Office leads the preparation of HHS and Government-wide positions on proposed legislation or Government-wide policies affecting grants and represents the Department’s interest regarding internal and external grants management activities.

OGPOE develops the Department’s grants training and certification program and provides management oversight across HHS for implementation of these activities. OGPOE leads HHS efforts to streamline and improve the transparency of grant information by producing tools such as the

Annual HHS Grants Forecast of upcoming grant opportunities,
HHS Grants Policy Statement [Word, 1.87 MB], and
HHS GrantsNet, a site that provides grant management information to current and prospective HHS grantees.

The OGPOE Director reports to the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Grants and is the Chairperson of the HHS Executive Committee on Grants Administration Policy (ECGAP).
