Opportunity Summary:
The National Indian Health Outreach and Education III (NIHOE III) opportunity is an Indian Health Service (IHS) cooperative agreement designed to strengthen health coverage knowledge and capacity across Indian Country by funding national-level training and technical assistance on the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and the Indian Health Care Improvement Act (IHCIA). The program is structured as a partnership effort in which national Indian organizations work closely with IHS and Tribal partners to make sure American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities, Tribal health systems, and related organizations understand and can effectively use the health insurance coverage options and authorities created or expanded under the ACA and IHCIA. The underlying intent is practical: better-informed communities and health systems should be able to access more coverage, improve access to care, improve quality, and bring additional financial resources into AI/AN health care through increased insurance enrollment and more effective use of available benefits.
The core objective of NIHOE III is to coordinate and deliver outreach, education, training, and hands-on technical assistance at a national scale for the 566 Federally recognized Tribes and Tribal organizations. The focus is on explaining the changes and improvements made by the ACA and IHCIA, clarifying how those laws affect Indian health programs and Tribal governments, and helping AI/AN individuals and families understand their coverage choices, including options available through the Health Insurance Marketplace. In other words, the funded organizations are expected to help translate complex federal policy into clear guidance and actionable steps that Tribes, Tribal health leaders, and community members can use to increase coverage and strengthen the overall Indian health care delivery system.
This is a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement instrument, meaning the awardee should expect substantial involvement from the federal agency compared with a typical grant. The funding opportunity number is HHS-2014-IHS-NIHOE-0003, and it is listed under CFDA 93.933 (Demonstration Projects for Indian Health). IHS anticipated making 2 awards under this announcement. The estimated total funding amount is $600,000, with an award ceiling of $600,000 and an award floor of $200,000. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which reduces barriers for eligible applicants that might otherwise need to contribute non-federal funds.
Eligibility is limited and targeted. Applicants must be 501(c)(3) nonprofit entities (other than institutions of higher education) that qualify specifically as national Indian organizations. Beyond organizational status, the announcement emphasizes that applicants must already have the infrastructure to carry out national-scale work and must demonstrate expertise in representing Tribal governments and supporting Indian health priorities broadly. The eligible organization is expected to play a recognized, major role in focusing attention on Indian health care needs and supporting improved health outcomes for AI/AN people; to promote and support Indian health care education and communications about federal decisions affecting Tribal interests; to have experience administering national health policy and health programs; and to maintain a national AI/AN constituency aligned with the IHS mission of improving health care quality for AI/AN communities. A key threshold requirement is evidence of at least ten years of experience providing education and outreach on a national scale, reflecting the program's expectation that awardees can rapidly deploy trusted, high-capacity assistance across many regions and Tribal contexts.
Key administrative details include an original posted date of August 25, 2014, with the announcement later showing a creation date of August 31, 2015 and an archive date of October 25, 2015. The source text lists an original closing date of September 25, 2015, and also lists a current closing date of September 25, 2014, which appears inconsistent; in practice, applicants would rely on the official full funding opportunity announcement and Grants.gov listing for the controlling deadline and any amendments. For help accessing the full announcement, the contact listed is Paul Gettys, Grant Systems Coordinator, Grants Policy Office, at 301-443-2114.
