Office of Global Health Affairs

The Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Secretary Office of Global Health Affairs, a civilian sub-agency within HHS, advances U.S. global health diplomacy and coordinates international health initiatives across the HHS portfolio. The Office of Global Health Affairs operates at the departmental level, setting policy and strategy for HHS engagement in global health emergencies, disease surveillance, pandemic preparedness, and health-security partnerships with foreign governments and multilateral organizations.

No recent federal contract awards or grant awards are recorded against the Office of Global Health Affairs or its descendant offices. No contract opportunities or grant opportunities are currently posted against the office.

The absence of contract and grant activity in the rollup portfolio suggests that the Office of Global Health Affairs functions primarily as a policy and coordination body rather than a direct procurement or grant-making entity. Its work typically operates through inter-agency agreements, international cooperative arrangements, and delegated funding mechanisms executed by other HHS operating divisions (such as the CDC, NIH, or HRSA) rather than direct awards from the office itself. Entities pursuing federal funding for global health work should target the HHS operating divisions with mission alignment — the CDC for international disease surveillance and outbreak response, the NIH for global health research, or HRSA for international health workforce development and capacity building — rather than the Office of the Secretary itself.
