Opportunity Summary:
The American Indians into Psychology Program is a competitive grant opportunity offered by the Indian Health Service (IHS) to strengthen the pipeline of American Indian and Alaska Native professionals entering psychology and related behavioral health careers. It is grounded in the Indian Health Care Improvement Act (25 U.S.C. 1621p(a-d)), originally enacted under Public Law 94-437 and later amended by Public Laws 102-573 and 111-148. In practical terms, the program is designed to help colleges and universities build, expand, and sustain organized recruitment and career-development efforts that encourage American Indian students to pursue advanced training in psychology, with the broader goal of improving behavioral health capacity in Native communities.
This funding opportunity is listed under CFDA 93.970, Health Professions Recruitment Program for Indians, and is categorized as a discretionary grant within the health funding activity area. The announcement aligns with the Public Health Service focus on prevention and health promotion goals described in Healthy People 2010, specifically connecting the program to the priority area of educational and community-based programs. While the Healthy People 2010 reference is largely contextual, it signals that IHS views workforce development and education-focused strategies as key tools for addressing long-term health disparities, including those tied to behavioral health access and outcomes.
Eligibility is limited and specific. Applicants must be public or nonprofit private colleges or universities that offer a Ph.D. in clinical psychology through a program accredited by the American Psychological Association (APA). The announcement also notes an important limitation: only one grant will be awarded and funded to a given college or university per funding cycle, which prevents multiple awards to the same institution in a single cycle and encourages broader distribution among eligible schools.
Financially, the opportunity anticipated a small number of awards, with an expected total of 2 awards. The estimated total funding amount for the cycle was $757,386. The award size is presented with both a ceiling and a floor of $252,462, indicating a fixed award amount per award (or at least a very narrowly defined award range) for those selected. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the grant. Allowable costs are to be determined in accordance with applicable Office of Management and Budget circulars, which generally means standard federal cost principles apply (for example, rules governing reasonableness, allocability, and documentation of expenses).
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number HHS-2010-IHS-INPSY-0001. The opportunity was posted on June 29, 2010, with an original and current closing date of July 23, 2010, and an archive date of August 22, 2010. Applicants needing the full announcement were directed to the IHS Grants Policy website, and a point of contact was provided for technical access issues: Paul Gettys, Grant Systems Manager, at 301-443-2114.
