Opportunity Summary:
The Indian Health Service (IHS), through its Office of Clinical and Preventive Services (OCPS), offered a competitive cooperative agreement titled Medical Professionals Recruitment and Continuing Education Programs (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2013 IHS HPR 0001; CFDA 93.970). The focus of the opportunity is to strengthen and expand programs that support both recruitment of medical professionals and continuing education efforts that ultimately improve health care for American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities. Because it is a cooperative agreement, the project is expected to involve an active partnership between the awardee and IHS, rather than operating as a purely hands-off grant.
The opportunity is built around three connected goals. First, it aims to make continuing medical education more accessible and more relevant for AI/AN physicians by supporting annual meetings and other educational venues that are culturally competent and sensitive to the needs and experiences of AI/AN providers and the communities they serve. Second, it seeks to increase recruitment of AI/AN health professionals into positions that directly serve AI/AN people, with the broader intent of strengthening the health care delivery system in Indian Country. Third, it emphasizes early pipeline development by creating opportunities for AI/AN youth to learn about federal agencies and potential federal career pathways, with the intention of building a national mentoring program and a longer-term pipeline that encourages more AI/AN youth to pursue health profession careers. Taken together, these activities are intended to increase the number of AI/AN medical professionals in the workforce over time while also supporting those already practicing.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), and applicants must provide proof of that status. Beyond the legal status requirement, applicants are expected to align closely with AI/AN health priorities and demonstrate a clear mission fit. The organization must have improving AI/AN health as a core goal, show a commitment to excellence in Native American health care, and promote education across medical disciplines while respecting and honoring traditional healing principles, including approaches that support balance of mind, body, and spirit. Applicants should also be able to offer educational programs and related activities that help AI/AN students stay in the academic pipeline and pursue careers in health professions and/or biomedical research. The announcement further highlights the importance of fostering forums where modern medicine and traditional healing can be discussed together in ways that improve health care delivery, and it notes the expectation that the applicant can provide leadership around pressing care arenas affecting AI/AN communities, such as diabetes mellitus, HIV/AIDS, domestic violence, and methamphetamine use.
Funding for this specific opportunity was relatively small and highly targeted: IHS anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $25,000. The award floor and ceiling were both $25,000, meaning the lone award was expected to be exactly that amount. No cost sharing or matching was required. The opportunity was posted on April 2, 2013, with an application deadline of April 30, 2013, and it was later archived on May 30, 2013.
For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Paul Gettys, Grant Systems Coordinator, reachable by phone at 301-443-2114.
