Opportunity Summary:
The National Indian Health Outreach and Education II - Behavioral Health and HIV/AIDS opportunity is a Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Indian Health Service (IHS) discretionary funding announcement that supports national-level outreach and education efforts designed to improve health outcomes for American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the awardees are expected to carry out their projects with substantial involvement from IHS rather than operating in a fully independent grant format. The central aim is to strengthen IHS program objectives by increasing awareness, visibility, advocacy, and education related to two priority areas: Behavioral Health (BH) and HIV/AIDS. The overall intent is to influence systems, messaging, and service integration in ways that ultimately improve Indian health care across IHS, Tribal, and Urban Indian health settings.
This announcement funds two separate awards, one focused on Behavioral Health and the other focused on HIV/AIDS, with an anticipated total of two awards made. The Behavioral Health award is aimed at elevating behavioral health as a core component of health and well-being in AI/AN communities. In practical terms, this emphasis signals support for national outreach and education that helps communities, providers, and stakeholders treat behavioral health as integral to overall wellness rather than as a secondary or isolated concern. The award is framed to encourage broad advocacy and education efforts that can influence knowledge, attitudes, and the visibility of behavioral health priorities at a national scale.
The HIV/AIDS award is framed around the urgent and growing impact of HIV and AIDS in AI/AN populations, including both urban and rural communities and those living on or near Tribal lands. A major theme in the description is the need to avoid complacency by increasing awareness and improving how HIV is discussed and addressed in AI/AN communities and health systems. The opportunity aligns explicitly with the Presidents National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS) and IHS implementation efforts supporting the strategy's core goals: reducing new HIV infections, increasing access to care and improving health outcomes for people living with HIV, and reducing HIV-related disparities. The announcement highlights that HIV risk and outcomes are shaped by other disparities affecting AI/AN communities, including substance use and sexually transmitted infections, and that many people living with HIV may not know their status. Because missed screening opportunities contribute to ongoing transmission and rising prevalence, the grant emphasizes moving beyond general awareness campaigns toward initiatives that normalize and routinize HIV services, especially HIV testing and effective linkage to care.
A key expectation of the HIV/AIDS-focused work is integration: improving how HIV testing and related services are embedded into routine health care and ensuring stronger linkages and access to care. The IHS HIV/AIDS Program is described as using an integrated, comprehensive approach built on collaboration across multiple health sectors, both inside and outside the agency, and across all service delivery environments, including IHS-operated, Tribal, and Urban Indian health facilities. The program is positioned as consistent with and connected to the IHS HIV/AIDS Strategic Plan, indicating that funded activities should reinforce established strategic objectives and support coordinated implementation rather than operating as stand-alone efforts.
Administratively, the funding opportunity is listed under CFDA 93.933 and uses the cooperative agreement instrument. The award ceiling is $300,000, and the opportunity anticipated two total awards (corresponding to the BH and HIV/AIDS tracks). Eligible applicants include 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations other than institutions of higher education, along with additional eligible entities as referenced in the announcement's eligibility clarification. The opportunity was posted July 20, 2016, with an original closing date of August 15, 2016, and required electronic submission by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. Overall, the grant is best understood as national-scope support for high-impact outreach, advocacy, and education designed to strengthen behavioral health visibility and to modernize and normalize HIV prevention, testing, and care connections in AI/AN communities through coordinated, collaborative implementation with IHS.
