Opportunity Summary:
National Indian Health Outreach and Education II is an Indian Health Service (IHS) discretionary funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2014-IHS-NIHOE-0002) that uses cooperative agreements to expand national-level outreach and education supporting key IHS health priorities for American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities. The overall intent is to improve Indian health care by strengthening communication, education, and coordinated support connected to three major focus areas: the Methamphetamine and Suicide Prevention Intervention (MSPI), the Domestic Violence Prevention Initiative (DVPI), and IHS HIV/AIDS programs. The opportunity is structured as two separate awards, meaning two recipients are expected to be funded under this announcement, with each award aligned to the specific program work described by IHS.
A major component of the announcement is the MSPI/DVPI award, which is designed to advance the goals of the national MSPI and national DVPI efforts. MSPI is described as a national demonstration project focused on two intertwined challenges in Indian Country: methamphetamine use and suicide. The program emphasis is on supporting culturally appropriate prevention and treatment approaches that are community-driven and grounded in evidence-based and practice-based models. The MSPI goals, as outlined in the notice, include preventing, reducing, or delaying methamphetamine use and its spread; building on earlier methamphetamine and suicide prevention and treatment work to help IHS, Tribes, and urban Indian health organizations develop and implement Tribal and culturally appropriate prevention and early intervention strategies; increasing access to methamphetamine and suicide prevention services; improving behavioral health services connected to methamphetamine use and suicide prevention; promoting the development of new and promising services that fit community culture and needs; and demonstrating program efficacy and measurable impact.
The DVPI portion is presented as a nationally coordinated, community-driven initiative that already includes 65 awarded projects. DVPI similarly prioritizes culturally competent models that are evidence-based and practice-based, with an emphasis on domestic and sexual violence (DSV) prevention and response. The stated DVPI goals are to support national and local work by IHS, Tribes, and urban Indian health programs to address DSV in AI/AN communities; promote the development and strengthening of culturally appropriate prevention, treatment, and educational approaches addressing DSV; coordinate services and provide resources so communities can respond to local DSV crises; and expand access to domestic violence prevention, sexual assault prevention, and survivor treatment services, including supports for survivors families.
Funding for the opportunity is limited and targeted. IHS anticipated making two total awards under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $250,000. Individual awards were expected to fall between $100,000 (floor) and $150,000 (ceiling). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates the agency expects to have substantial involvement with the recipient during the project period, such as collaboration, coordination, or technical guidance tied to federal program goals.
Eligibility is narrowly defined. Applicants must be national Indian organizations and must be nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (with additional eligibility clarifications referenced in the full announcement). Beyond formal status, the notice emphasizes that eligible applicants must have the infrastructure to carry out national-scale outreach and education and must show demonstrated expertise in areas tied to national Tribal representation, Indian education and policy communication affecting Tribal interests, and national health policy and health program administration. The applicant must have a national AI/AN constituency, clearly support critical services and activities within the IHS mission to improve health care quality for AI/AN people, and provide evidence of solid, long-standing support for improving health care in Indian Country. A key experience threshold is also included: applicants must show at least ten years of experience providing education and outreach on a national scale.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted August 6, 2014, with an original and current closing date of September 6, 2014, and an archive date of October 6, 2014. The CFDA number associated with the program is 93.933 (Demonstration Projects for Indian Health). The awarding agency is the Indian Health Service, and the activity category is Health. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact was Paul Gettys, Grant Systems Coordinator, Grants Policy Office, at 301-443-2114.
