Opportunity Summary:
The American Indians into Medicine (INMED) grant opportunity, offered by the Indian Health Service (IHS) under CFDA 93.970, is designed to increase the number of American Indian and Alaska Native health professionals who go on to serve Native communities. The core idea is straightforward: help more Native students enter health profession training programs and reduce the barriers that commonly block their path into Indian Health Service careers and other clinical practice settings that serve Indian populations. In practice, this means supporting recruitment and pathway-building efforts tied to medical and allied health education, with an emphasis on strengthening the pipeline from interest and preparation through successful entry into professional training.
This funding opportunity is categorized as a discretionary grant within the health funding activity area. At the time of posting (June 25, 2010), the program anticipated making two awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $340,000. Each award was set at a fixed level, with an award floor and ceiling both listed as $170,000, indicating each of the two awards would be for the same amount. The announcement states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants were not required to contribute non-federal dollars as a condition of receiving the grant. Budgeting and allowable costs were to be determined according to applicable Office of Management and Budget circulars, reflecting standard federal grant cost principles and administrative requirements.
Eligibility is limited to public and nonprofit private colleges and universities that operate medical and other allied health programs. Importantly, schools that operate nursing programs were explicitly not eligible under this specific announcement because IHS already funds a separate Nursing Recruitment grant program. There is also a geographic and service-area constraint intended to prevent duplication with an existing INMED program at the University of North Dakota. That existing program targets tribes primarily in North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming, and Montana, so any institution applying under this announcement had to propose serving tribes in states not currently covered by the University of North Dakota INMED service area. In other words, applicants needed to demonstrate they would expand INMED-type support into underserved regions rather than overlap with the established program footprint.
The opportunity is also framed within the broader Public Health Service (PHS) priorities connected to Healthy People 2010, specifically aligning with the priority area of educational and community-based programs. While Healthy People 2010 is not presented as a separate funding stream here, it is used to signal that the grant supports national health promotion and disease prevention objectives through education, training, and community-oriented recruitment strategies. The notice provides directions for obtaining Healthy People 2010 materials through the Government Printing Office or online at www.health.gov/healthypeople, reflecting how applicants were expected to connect program planning to established federal public health goals.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number (HHS 2010 IHS INMED 0001), a posted date of June 25, 2010, and closing dates that fell in late July 2010 (with the current closing date listed as July 22, 2010). The announcement was archived on August 21, 2010. Applicants seeking the full official requirements and submission instructions were directed to the full announcement on the IHS grants policy website. For access issues, the listed contact was Paul Gettys, Grant Systems Manager, at 301-443-2114.
