Opportunity Summary:
The Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS) Initiative is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the Indian Health Service (IHS) through the Office of Urban Indian Health Programs (OUIHP). It is an open competition tied to the "4 in 1" Title V grant structure and responds to an Office of Minority Health HIV/AIDS initiative. The program is authorized under the Snyder Act and sections 25 U.S.C. 1652 and 1653 of the Indian Health Care Improvement Act (Public Law 94-437, as amended), and it is listed under CFDA 93.193 (Urban Indian Health Services). The overall goal is to strengthen HIV-related services in urban Indian health settings by expanding existing Title V efforts and increasing the number of American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) people who know their HIV status.
The core purpose of the funding is to boost early detection and prevention by supporting routine and/or rapid HIV screening, appropriate pre- and post-test counseling, and structured data collection. The announcement emphasizes that HIV has had a disproportionate impact on communities of color, and that improving access to early testing, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention is a public health priority. It also highlights specific concerns for AI/AN communities: over the prior decade, AI/AN populations experienced higher HIV rates than Caucasians, along with shorter longevity after diagnosis compared to other racial and ethnic groups. By improving testing capacity and prevention programming in urban Indian health programs, the initiative aims to reduce new infections and improve outcomes through earlier awareness and linkage to services.
Funded projects are expected to enhance HIV testing options, including rapid testing and/or standard HIV antibody testing, and to deliver more targeted prevention efforts in some of the largest urban Indian population centers in the United States. Beyond direct testing services, applicants are expected to build or strengthen prevention education and risk-reduction supports, aligning activities with the specific risk factors influencing HIV transmission among urban AI/AN communities. The opportunity frames these grants as supplements or enhancements to existing work rather than entirely new standalone programs, with a strong emphasis on practical, service-delivery expansion and measurable testing and education outputs.
A key feature of the program is required coordination and collaboration. Awardees must work closely with OUIHP to coordinate activities and are also expected to participate in related efforts across other operating divisions within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The announcement specifically references collaboration and alignment with agencies and offices such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), and the Office of HIV/AIDS Policy. Recipients must also submit and share data related to HIV testing, treatment, and education, making reporting and data management an important part of the project design.
Funding details indicate up to 14 expected awards, with an award ceiling of $25,000 and no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is health. The opportunity was posted July 25, 2008, with an application closing date of August 8, 2008, and an archive date of September 7, 2008. While the summary outlines the intent and broad requirements, applicants were directed to the full announcement for complete instructions, evaluation criteria, and submission requirements.
Eligibility is limited to urban Indian organizations as defined by 25 U.S.C. 1603(h), and only those organizations that meet several readiness and capacity criteria. Eligible applicants must have state certification to conduct rapid HIV testing, have trained health professionals and staff in HIV screening tools and related education, prevention, counseling, and interventions tailored to AI/AN populations, and demonstrate understanding of the risk factors driving HIV in urban AI/AN communities. They also must have programs that address community and group support to sustain risk-reduction skills, have implemented HIV/AIDS quality assurance and improvement activities, and provide proof of nonprofit status with the application.
