CDC′s Procurement and Grants Office

The CDC awards nearly 85 percent of its budget through grants and contracts to help accomplish its mission to promote health and quality of life by preventing and controlling disease, injury, and disability. Contracts procure goods and services used directly by the agency, and grants assist other health-related and research organizations that contribute to CDC′s mission through health information dissemination, preparedness, prevention, research, and surveillance.

Each year, the CDC awards approximately $7 billion in over 14,000 separate grant and contract actions, including simplified acquisitions. This website provides information on grants and business opportunities with the CDC.
