The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is the largest federal grant-making agency in the United States, distributing hundreds of billions annually through dozens of programs. NIH alone awards over $37 billion in research grants per year. CDC, HRSA, SAMHSA, and CMS all administer significant grant programs.
Healthcare grants serve a wide range of recipients — from university research labs to community health centers, rural hospitals, local public health departments, and nonprofit organizations providing mental health or substance abuse services.
Tip: NIH grants (93.xxx) are competitive but receive fewer applications per dollar than most people assume. Community health nonprofits and rural health organizations are specifically sought in many HRSA programs.
