Opportunity Summary:
The National Indian Health Outreach and Education, Policy/Budget/Diabetes opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2015 IHS NIHOE 1 PBD 0003) is an Indian Health Service (IHS) discretionary cooperative agreement designed to advance IHSs mission of improving the quality of health care for American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities. The core idea is to support outreach and education activities that ultimately strengthen Indian health care, with the program framed explicitly around producing improvements in Indian health services rather than unrelated organizational capacity building. As a cooperative agreement, the award structure also signals that IHS expects substantial involvement and collaboration with the recipient during the project period, rather than a more hands-off grant relationship.
This funding announcement bundles four distinct but related service components under one award. The first is Line Item 128 Health Education and Outreach, which focuses on communicating health information, raising awareness, and supporting education efforts intended to improve health knowledge and navigation of care in Indian Country. The second component is Health Care Policy Analysis and Review, centered on tracking, analyzing, and communicating policy developments that affect AI/AN health systems, including the practical implications of federal decisions on tribal health care. The third component is Budget Formulation, supporting work that helps interpret, develop, or inform budget priorities connected to Indian health, including the funding needs that underpin IHS and tribally operated health programs. The fourth component is support for the Tribal Leaders Diabetes Committee (TLDC), reflecting the continued emphasis on diabetes as a major health concern in AI/AN communities and the value placed on tribal leadership engagement and coordination around diabetes-related policy, strategy, and education.
The opportunity anticipated a single award, with total estimated funding of $825,000. The award floor and ceiling were both set at $825,000, meaning IHS intended to make one award at a fixed amount rather than a range of possible award sizes. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants, which reduces barriers for eligible organizations and keeps the focus on program execution rather than fundraising to meet match thresholds. The funding activity category is Health, and the associated CFDA number listed is 93.933, Demonstration Projects for Indian Health.
Eligibility was narrow and specialized. Applicants had to be a 501(c)(3) national Indian organization applying under a New/Competing Continuation announcement, and they needed to provide proof of nonprofit status with the application. Beyond basic nonprofit eligibility, the organization had to demonstrate national-level expertise and infrastructure, including representing tribal governments broadly and delivering services to tribes, area health boards, tribal organizations, and federal agencies. The eligible applicant was expected to have a track record of focusing attention on Indian health care needs in ways that contribute to improved outcomes, promoting and supporting Indian education, coordinating efforts to inform AI/AN communities about federal decisions affecting tribal interests (specifically including health care improvement), administering national health policy and health programs, and maintaining a clear national AI/AN constituency aligned with the IHS mission. The eligibility language also emphasizes that the applicant must already have the operational infrastructure to carry out the scope of work, which implies IHS was seeking an established national organization capable of immediate execution rather than a new entity building capacity from scratch.
Key dates reflect that this was a time-limited competitive cycle posted on July 10, 2015, with an application closing date of September 8, 2015, and an archive date of October 8, 2015. The sponsoring agency is the Indian Health Service.
