Opportunity Summary:

The IHS National HIV Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2013 IHS OCPS HIV 0001) is a discretionary, competitive cooperative agreement offered by the Indian Health Service (IHS) through the Office of Clinical and Preventive Services (OCPS). Its central purpose is to fund projects that strengthen and expand enhanced HIV/AIDS screening and improve engagement in care, with a clear focus on meeting the clinical, preventive, and public health needs of American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities. Through this program, IHS is looking to support demonstration-style efforts that help identify people living with HIV earlier and connect them more effectively to medical care and related services, using approaches that are practical for IHS, tribal, and urban Indian health settings.

The program sits within the IHS National HIV/AIDS Program, which functions as the lead entity for national education, policy development, budget planning, and the allocation of resources tied to HIV/AIDS activities across IHS headquarters, Area Offices, and Service Units. In other words, the funding is designed not only to support direct local improvements, but also to reinforce a coordinated national strategy for HIV/AIDS prevention and care in AI/AN communities, including leadership on priorities, program administration, and public health practice.

This opportunity uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument, meaning awardees should expect substantial federal involvement compared with a standard grant. While the specific level of involvement is detailed in the full announcement, cooperative agreements generally imply ongoing collaboration with IHS on program implementation, reporting, and alignment with federal program goals.

IHS anticipated making 4 awards under this announcement. The estimated total funding available was $320,000, with individual awards expected to range from $60,000 (award floor) to $90,000 (award ceiling). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the financial barrier for eligible organizations to apply and carry out the proposed work.

Eligible applicants are limited to Indian and urban Indian entities as defined in federal statute. Applicants must be one of the following: (1) an Indian Tribe as defined by 25 U.S.C. 1603(14), (2) a Tribal organization as defined by 25 U.S.C. 1603(26), or (3) an Urban Indian organization as defined by 25 U.S.C. 1603(29). The listing also notes eligible organizational types such as federally recognized tribal governments, tribal organizations, and certain nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). Applicants were required to submit proof of nonprofit status with the application, such as documentation of 501(c)(3) recognition, when applicable.

Administratively, the opportunity is tied to CFDA 93.933, Demonstration Projects for Indian Health. Key timeline dates included a posted date of July 26, 2013, with an original closing date of August 23, 2013, later extended to a current closing date of August 26, 2013. The opportunity was archived on September 22, 2013.
