Opportunity Summary:
The Children and Youth Projects (CYP) grant opportunity is a discretionary funding competition offered by the Indian Health Service (IHS) to support programs that improve the health and overall wellbeing of American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) children and youth. Funding is provided through cooperative agreements, meaning awardees should expect an ongoing working relationship with IHS during the project period rather than a hands-off grant. The program is authorized under the Indian Health Care Improvement Act (25 U.S.C. 1621(o)) and Section 301(a) of the Public Health Service Act, and it is listed in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance under CFDA 93.933 (Demonstration Projects for Indian Health). At its core, the opportunity is meant to help Tribal communities and urban Indian organizations build, strengthen, or expand community-driven efforts that support AI/AN young people.
This announcement reflects an effort by IHS to continue and broaden earlier investments in youth-focused initiatives. IHS previously funded related work in 2003 and 2006, supporting projects for up to three years under the Child and Youth Health Initiative (CYHI) and then CYP. Those earlier rounds funded a range of community programs in rural, remote, and urban AI/AN settings, including projects that were strengthened through a partnership with the Administration for Native Americans (ANA) in the first period. The current competition is positioned as the next step in that progression, with an emphasis on extending services into new communities and/or enhancing programs that already exist, recognizing that local needs and solutions vary widely across Tribal and urban Indian contexts.
In terms of scale and award structure, IHS المتوقع to make about 12 awards from an estimated total funding pool of $600,000. Individual awards are expected to fall between $25,000 (award floor) and $75,000 (award ceiling). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, which can make the program more accessible to smaller organizations or communities that may not have flexible funds available to meet a match. The funding instrument is specifically identified as a cooperative agreement, and the activity category is Health, signaling that proposed projects should clearly connect activities and outcomes to the health and wellbeing of AI/AN children and youth.
Eligibility is focused on Native-serving entities, specifically Federally recognized Tribal governments and Native American tribal organizations (other than Federally recognized tribal governments). The narrative description also references urban Indian organizations as intended beneficiaries/participants in the program, reinforcing that the opportunity is meant to reach AI/AN children and youth both on and off Tribal lands, including in urban areas where service delivery challenges and community supports can look different than in reservation or remote settings.
Key dates for this opportunity show it was posted May 26, 2009, with an application closing date of June 25, 2009, and an archive date of June 26, 2009. The funding opportunity number is HHS 2009 IHS CYP 0001, and the title is Children and Youth Projects. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, IHS provided a point of contact in the Division of Grants Policy and Operations: Michelle Bulls, Director, Grants Policy, reachable by phone at 301-443-6528 or by email at Michelle.Bulls@ihs.gov.
