Welcome to TAGGS!
The Tracking Accountability in Government Grants System (TAGGS) is a robust reporting tool developed by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Grants and Acquisition Policy and Accountability (OGAPA). The TAGGS database is a central repository for grants awarded by the eleven HHS Operating Divisions (OPDIVs)*. TAGGS tracks obligated grant funds at the transaction level.
