Opportunity Summary:
The National HIV Program/Office of Clinical Preventative Services grant opportunity was a FY 2009 Indian Health Service (IHS) cooperative agreement competition run through the Office of Clinical and Preventive Services (OCPS). It focused on strengthening HIV/AIDS testing efforts for American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities by making HIV screening more routine, improving access to HIV-related services, and helping reduce stigma around testing. The central goal was to increase the number of AI/AN individuals who know their HIV status, which is a key step in reducing new infections and improving health outcomes through earlier diagnosis and linkage to care.
The program was authorized under the Snyder Act (25 U.S.C. 13) and the Indian Health Care Improvement Act (25 U.S.C. 1602, including provisions cited as (a)(b)(42)(43)), and it was listed under CFDA 93.933, Demonstration Projects for Indian Health. Funding was offered as discretionary cooperative agreements, meaning awardees would carry out their projects with an ongoing level of involvement and coordination with IHS compared with a standard grant. Only one funding cycle was planned for FY 2009, indicating this was a single-year competitive round rather than a recurring multi-cycle announcement.
Project activities emphasized routine HIV screening for adults following the 2006 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines. In practice, that meant shifting away from HIV testing being primarily risk-based or symptom-driven and instead integrating it into standard clinical care where appropriate. The opportunity also supported pre- and post-test counseling when appropriate, reflecting an approach that combined clinical testing capacity with patient education, support, and referral processes. Overall, the program design leaned toward normalizing HIV testing in health care settings serving AI/AN populations, improving early identification of HIV, and strengthening pathways to prevention and treatment services.
The total estimated funding for the announcement was $850,000, with an expectation of 10 awards. Each award was set at a fixed level, with both the award ceiling and award floor listed as $85,000, suggesting each selected applicant would receive the same amount. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which reduced the financial barrier to participation for eligible tribal and tribal-serving entities.
Eligibility was limited to federally recognized AI/AN Tribes (as defined at 25 U.S.C. 1603(d)), Tribal Organizations (25 U.S.C. 1603(e)), or consortia of two or more eligible Tribes or Tribal organizations. Applicants that were not Tribes had to provide proof of nonprofit status. Consortia had an additional threshold requirement: they had to represent or propose to serve a total AI/AN population of at least 20,000 to be considered eligible. The announcement also clarified that an intertribal consortium or AI/AN organization could qualify if it was incorporated primarily to improve AI/AN health and was representative of the tribes or Alaska Native villages in its area.
The announcement strongly encouraged collaboration with partners such as regional IHS entities, CDC, states, or other organizations, and it required proof of collaboration to be included in the application. That requirement signals the program’s interest in coordinated regional approaches, shared protocols, and alignment with public health systems that can support consistent testing practices, confirmatory testing pathways, reporting requirements where applicable, and referral networks for care and prevention services.
Key administrative details included the funding opportunity number HHS 2009 IHS OCPS HIV 0001, a posted date of June 26, 2009 (with a creation date of June 29, 2009), and a single application deadline of July 31, 2009. The opportunity was archived on August 30, 2009.
