About this agency

The Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Secretary Office on Women's Health is a civilian sub-agency within HHS that coordinates women's health policy, research, and awareness initiatives across the federal health system. The Office on Women's Health does not directly administer federal contracts or grants; instead, it functions as a policy coordinating body and grants management intermediary that channels funding through primary HHS operating divisions and institutes.

No recent federal contract awards or contract opportunities are recorded against the Office on Women's Health or its descendant offices. The Office on Women's Health does not operate as a contracting entity and does not maintain a prime contractor base for services or goods procurement.

No recent federal grant awards or grant opportunities are recorded against the Office on Women's Health in the current data digest. While the Office on Women's Health administers grant programs and funding opportunities across women's health research and outreach — including initiatives under the NIH, CDC, HRSA, and other HHS operating divisions — those grants are typically awarded and tracked at the individual institute or division level rather than rolled up under the Office on Women's Health itself. Federal businesses seeking grant funding for women's health research, workforce development, or community-based prevention programs should engage directly with the relevant HHS operating division (NIH institutes, CDC divisions, HRSA bureaus) and monitor their respective grant-opportunity announcements.

The Office on Women's Health serves as a focal point for women's health policy coordination and interagency collaboration, but procurement and grant-making authority reside with subordinate HHS operating entities. BD professionals evaluating funding opportunities in women's health should monitor the grant portfolios and solicitations of the primary HHS agencies that conduct and fund women's health work rather than the coordinating office itself.
