Opportunity Summary:
The Indian Health Service (IHS) announced a geographically limited, discretionary grant competition to support the American Indians Into Psychology Program, a workforce development effort designed to increase the number of American Indian psychologists and other Indian mental health professionals serving American Indian communities. The competition was restricted to Montana because IHS documented a clear, location-specific need: 54 of Montana's 57 counties were designated as Mental Health Health Professions Shortage Areas. IHS also noted that Congress had expressed support, through report language in fiscal years 2007 and 2008, for funding an American Indians into Psychology program specifically in Montana. The program is authorized under the Indian Health Care Improvement Act, 25 U.S.C. 1621p(a-d), originally established by Public Law 94-437 and amended by Public Law 102-573, and it is listed under CFDA 93.970 (Health Professions Recruitment Program for Indians).
At its core, the opportunity focused on recruitment and barrier reduction. The stated purpose was to augment the number of Indian health professionals serving Indian people by encouraging American Indians to enter psychology and by addressing the practical and structural obstacles that often interfere with entry into IHS careers and into private practice in American Indian communities. While the announcement does not spell out a required model in the text provided, the intent clearly points toward building a stronger pipeline into doctoral-level clinical psychology training and, ultimately, into service roles that expand access to mental health care in underserved and predominantly rural areas of Montana.
Eligibility was narrowly defined. Only colleges or universities located in the State of Montana could apply, and only if they offered an American Psychological Association (APA) accredited Ph.D. program in clinical psychology. In addition, IHS planned to make only one award per funding cycle within the state, making this a single-award opportunity with a highly limited applicant pool. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, and allowable costs were to be determined under applicable Office of Management and Budget circulars, which generally means the budget would need to follow standard federal cost principles and documentation expectations.
The funding profile was straightforward and fixed. The opportunity anticipated one award with an estimated total funding amount of $1,250,000. The award ceiling and floor were both listed as $250,000, indicating a uniform annual award amount (commonly interpreted as $250,000 per year across a multi-year project period, consistent with the larger total estimate). The funding instrument type was a grant, and the activity category was health.
This announcement also connected the program to broader Public Health Service priorities, noting alignment with Healthy People 2010, particularly the focus area of educational and community-based programs. Like many HHS-era funding announcements, it included standard public health policy statements encouraging smoke-free workplaces and compliance with the Pro-Children Act of 1994, which restricts smoking in facilities providing routine services to children. These provisions were included as part of the federal government’s wider health promotion expectations for grantees.
Key administrative details included the funding opportunity number (HHS-2009-IHS-INPSY-0001), the posting date (April 16, 2009), and the application closing date (May 22, 2009), with an archive date of June 21, 2009. Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to contact Tammy Bagley at Tammy.Bagley@ihs.gov, and the announcement referenced an additional information link hosted by the IHS grants site.
