Opportunity Summary:
The Elder Care Initiative Long Term Care (LTC) Grant Program is a discretionary Indian Health Service (IHS) funding opportunity created to help American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities strengthen long term care services for elders. The program is designed to support either early-stage assessment and planning work or the on-the-ground implementation of long term care programs. A key requirement is that any LTC services developed with these grant funds must fall within the IHS authority to provide services, whether delivered directly by IHS or through an IHS funding agreement, and the services must be structured to serve IHS beneficiaries. The larger intent is to help communities build long term care systems over time, recognizing that many Tribes and urban Indian programs expand services incrementally by adding new components, improving coordination, or integrating existing supports rather than creating a complete system all at once. The focus is not only clinical or custodial care, but also keeping elders connected to family, community life, and cultural support systems as long term care needs increase.
This opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2010 IHS EHC 0001) was posted on April 23, 2010, with an application deadline of June 4, 2010, and an archive date of July 4, 2010. The total estimated funding available was $600,000, with an expected eight awards. Individual awards were anticipated to range from $50,000 (award floor) to $75,000 (award ceiling). The funding instrument is a grant, categorized under health, and it is associated with CFDA number 93.933, Demonstration Projects for Indian Health. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces the financial burden on applicants and allows programs to focus grant dollars on planning or service delivery rather than meeting a match.
Eligible applicants are limited to specific AI/AN and urban Indian entities. Applicants must be either (A) a federally recognized Indian Tribe as defined by 25 U.S.C. 1603(d), (B) a Tribal organization as defined by 25 U.S.C. 1603(e), (C) an urban Indian health program operating a Title V Urban Indian Health Program (including those with existing grants or contracts under Title V of the Indian Health Care Improvement Act), or (D) a consortium made up of eligible Tribes, Tribal organizations, and/or Title V urban Indian health programs. The eligibility definitions emphasize Indian control and governance, such as Tribes recognized for federal services due to Indian status, Tribal organizations controlled by tribal governing bodies or Indian-elected boards with maximum Indian participation, and urban Indian organizations that are nonprofit corporate bodies governed by an urban Indian controlled board and able to cooperate legally with other entities to carry out Title V related activities.
Overall, this grant program is positioned as a capacity-building and service-development tool for long term care in AI/AN settings, with flexibility to support communities that are still designing their LTC approach as well as those ready to implement concrete services. The program’s emphasis on incremental system-building and maintaining elders’ involvement in family and community life reflects a community-centered approach to long term care rather than a purely institutional model.
