HHS is the largest grant-making agency in the US. Most HHS grants are provided directly to states, territories, tribes, and educational and community organizations, then given to people and organizations who are eligible to receive funding.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Office of Financial Resources (OFR) aids in achieving CDC’s mission by quickly and effectively allocating funds to where they are needed.

Managed by the Department of Health and Human Services, Grants.gov is an E-Government initiative operating under the governance of the Office of Management and Budget. Today, the Grants.gov system houses information on over 1,000 grant programs and vets grant applications for federal grant-making agencies.

The University of Pittsburgh is a world class research institution with a strong commitment to training the next generation of leaders in scientific innovation and discovery. Over 60 NIH training grants currently support the training and career development of predoctoral students and postdoctoral and clinical fellows across the University.

Pitt Research, led by the Senior Vice Chancellor for Research, is the core unit at the University of Pittsburgh with responsibility to: facilitate research of impact, identify and catalyze strategic opportunities, position the University to lead large research collaborations, translate scholarly excellence into commercial innovation and economic partnership, and maintain the highest standards of research integrity.

The mission of the Office of Research, Health Sciences, OORHS, is to foster both the emerging and the established research enterprises within and across the six schools of the Health Sciences at the University of Pittsburgh.

The Office of Clinical Research, Health Sciences was started in 2001 to promote clinical research at the University of Pittsburgh and its affiliated institutions by providing research-related resources for volunteers, sponsors, investigators and research staff.    

Offered by the ICRE and the Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI), the CTS Scholars Program provides courses, seminars, workshops, and experiential training to build essential translational research skills in team science, leadership, stakeholder engagement, communication, and moving innovations to commercialization.

The intent of the CMRF program is to provide funds for junior, independent scientists at the University of Pittsburgh to develop the preliminary data and refinement of procedures and hypotheses that will enable submission of highly competitive applications to national funding sources.

The ICRE seeks to improve health outcomes, practice, and policy by creating an equitable, inclusive environment dedicated to educating the next generation of clinical and translational researchers and medical educators.
