Grants and contracts are at the core of how HHS delivers programs and services to meet its mission. Each year, HHS awards billions of dollars to grant recipients and contractors that implement programs and provide services on behalf of HHS. Safeguarding the integrity of these awards remains a significant challenge for HHS and is a priority area for our agency.
At the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (HHS-OIG), 1,600-plus employees oversee more than 100 programs that support the health and well-being of millions of individuals nationwide, including children, people with disabilities, and older adults. And we’re delivering results.
