Opportunity Summary:
National Indian Health Outreach and Education II (NIHOE II) is an Indian Health Service (IHS) funding opportunity that supports national level outreach and education efforts aimed at improving American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) health outcomes. Through the IHS Office of Direct Service and Contracting Tribes, this announcement offers two separate, limited competition cooperative agreements. Each award is designed to expand education, communications, and outreach connected to existing IHS priority programs, with the broader goal of strengthening awareness, prevention, early intervention, access to services, and overall quality of care in Indian Country.
The first cooperative agreement focuses on behavioral health through the Methamphetamine and Suicide Prevention Intervention (MSPI) program. MSPI is described as a national demonstration project intended to address two urgent and interconnected issues in many AI/AN communities: methamphetamine use and suicide. The outreach and education work funded under this award is meant to advance culturally appropriate approaches that are grounded in evidence based and practice based models, and to do so in a community driven way. The program’s goals emphasize preventing, reducing, or delaying methamphetamine use and its spread; building on earlier methamphetamine and suicide prevention and treatment activities; supporting IHS, Tribes, and urban Indian health organizations in developing and implementing Tribal and culturally appropriate prevention and early intervention strategies; increasing access to prevention services; improving behavioral health services linked to methamphetamine use and suicide prevention; and promoting new or promising community relevant services that can demonstrate real impact. While the national MSPI program includes outreach to urban Indian organizations, this specific announcement notes that outreach aimed specifically at urban Indian organizations will be covered elsewhere, although educational materials produced under this award may still be distributed to urban Indian organizations at IHS discretion.
The second cooperative agreement supports national outreach and education for the IHS HIV/AIDS program. The opportunity frames HIV/AIDS as a critical and growing issue within the AI/AN population and stresses the need to avoid complacency by increasing awareness and changing how HIV is discussed and addressed in care settings. Activities under this award align with the President’s National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS), particularly its three major aims: reducing new infections, increasing access to care and improving health outcomes for people living with HIV, and reducing HIV related disparities. The description highlights that AI/AN communities often experience compounding risk factors and disparities, including substance use and sexually transmitted infections, and that HIV affects both rural and urban populations, including people living on or near Tribal lands. A central concern identified in the announcement is that many individuals living with HIV may not know their status, pointing to missed screening opportunities and the need to move beyond general awareness efforts. In response, the program emphasizes integrating and routinizing HIV testing and related services within health systems, strengthening linkages to care, and using a coordinated approach that includes collaborations across multiple sectors and across all types of service delivery settings, including IHS, Tribal, and Urban (I/T/U) facilities. The opportunity also notes alignment with the IHS HIV/AIDS Strategic Plan.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary funding opportunity using the cooperative agreement instrument, meaning the awardees should expect substantial involvement and collaboration with IHS as part of implementation. The Funding Opportunity Number is HHS-2013-IHS-NIHOE-0002 and it is associated with CFDA 93.933 (Demonstration Projects for Indian Health). IHS anticipates making two awards total under this announcement. The estimated total funding is $250,000, with individual awards expected to fall between $100,000 (floor) and $150,000 (ceiling). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The original and current closing date listed is September 8, 2013, with a posted date of August 14, 2013, and an archive date of October 8, 2013.
Eligibility is limited and targeted. Applicants must be 501(c)(3) nonprofit entities (other than institutions of higher education) that qualify as National Indian Organizations and that have the infrastructure to carry out national scale work. The announcement sets out several experience and capacity expectations: demonstrated expertise representing Tribal governments and providing services to Tribes, Area health boards, Tribal organizations, and federal agencies; a track record promoting and supporting Indian education and informing AI/AN communities about federal decisions affecting Tribal interests, including health care; capability in national health policy and health program administration; a national AI/AN constituency and a clear connection to IHS’s mission to improve AI/AN health care quality; evidence of strong support for improved health care in Indian Country; and at least ten years of experience delivering education and outreach on a national scale. For access issues with the full announcement, the listed contact is Paul Gettys, Grant Systems Coordinator, at 301-443-2114 in the Grants Office.
