Geisinger's subsidiaries have been awarded several federal contracts to provide healthcare services and medical testing.

Federal grant awards to Geisinger entities have supported a diverse array of medical research and public health initiatives. The National Institutes of Health has funded Geisinger Clinic for studies on topics such as the genetic basis of complex disorders, cardiovascular genomics, and clinical effectiveness of early mobility interventions for critically ill children.
