Opportunity Summary:
The American Indians Into Medicine (INMED) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2014 IHS INMED 0001) is a discretionary grant program offered by the Indian Health Service (IHS) to increase the number of American Indian and Alaska Native health professionals who go on to serve Indian communities. The program is built around a straightforward goal: encourage American Indian students to enter health professions and reduce the practical, academic, financial, and social barriers that can keep students from successfully entering and completing professional training and then transitioning into practice in settings that serve Indian populations. In other words, INMED is not just about recruitment into health fields, but about helping students persist through the pipeline and ultimately strengthening the long-term health workforce available to Tribal communities.
This funding opportunity falls under the health activity category and uses the grant instrument type. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number tied to the program is 93.970, listed as the Health Professions Recruitment Program for Indians. The announcement anticipated making two awards with an estimated total funding amount of $397,360. Individual awards were expected to range between $170,000 (award floor) and $195,000 (award ceiling). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility is limited to public and nonprofit private colleges and universities that have medical and other allied health programs accredited by an accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education. A key limitation is that institutions operating nursing programs are not eligible under this specific announcement, because IHS already supports a separate nursing recruitment grant program. Another important geographic and service-area restriction is tied to the existing INMED program at the University of North Dakota, which primarily targets Indian Tribes in North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming, and Montana. Applicants under this announcement were required to propose programming that serves Indian Tribes in states not currently covered by the University of North Dakota INMED program, effectively expanding the reach of INMED support beyond the areas already being served.
The timeline for the opportunity was clearly defined. The posting date and creation date were both May 1, 2014. The original and current closing date for applications was June 13, 2014, and the opportunity was archived on July 13, 2014.
