    The Office of Grants (AMU) organizational structure and 
responsibilities remain as described in Federal Register Document 2019-

    1. The Division of Systems (AMU2) is renamed the Division of 
Information and Solutions. The Division of Information and Solutions is 
headed by a Director and develops, manages, and operates major, grant-
shared services and solution offerings for HHS, as directed by the 
Secretary of HHS or delegated authority. Organizational units within 
AMU2 may be adjusted from time to time and as necessary to accommodate 
new, changing, or discontinued shared services or solution offerings. 
The Division of Information and Solutions assumes responsibility for 
operating and maintaining the GrantSolutions system in its current form 
as well as for future GrantSolutions development efforts. The Division 
of Information and Solutions will also manage GrantSolutions-related 
customer relationships and agreements, formerly managed by the National 
Grant COE in ACF.
    2. The Division of Grant Policy, Oversight, and Evaluation (AMU1) 
is renamed the Division of Policy, Oversight, and Evaluation.
