Background In a competition open to all agencies, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) selected the Center of Excellence (COE), as part of the GMLoB initiative, to provide grants administrative and processing services for Federal Departments and Agencies who request such services. The COE is a joint partnership between HHS Administration of Children and Families (ACF) and the Denali Commission, who was the first federal agency outside of HHS to pilot the COE‘s core grants management system, and in turn provided guidance in the transformation of that system from a single agency to a government wide solution that is used by four cabinet level departments and 40+ OpDivs across the government. The responsibilities of the Denali Commission in its co-founding partner role include tactical and strategic guidance to the COE on its products, delivery of services and operations, leadership in the development of grants and program management services, staff resources and fiscal guidance and fiscal services.

Within HHS, the Grants COE has been chartered to build, maintain and market a suite of grants management tools, both software and service based, along with policy, guidance and functions related to the 14 stages of the grant lifecycle.
