Opportunity Summary:
The National Indian Health Outreach and Education (NIHOE) opportunity is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the Indian Health Service (IHS) to support national-level outreach and education on two major federal laws affecting American Indian and Alaska Native health systems: the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and the Indian Health Care Improvement Act (IHCIA). The core purpose is to strengthen understanding across the Indian health system, specifically the IHS, Tribal, and Urban Indian health programs (often referred to as the I/T/U system), by producing clear written analyses and practical educational materials, then building an organized outreach approach to share that information across Indian Country in a consistent, IHS-approved way.
Under this award, the selected entity or entities must complete two major work components. First, they must produce a summary and written report that identifies and explains the key ACA and IHCIA issues that affect the I/T/U system, including implications for IHS operations and for Tribal and Urban Indian health programs. Alongside the report, the awardee must develop educational materials designed to help individual Tribes and Tribal organizations understand the major provisions of the ACA and IHCIA in a usable, training-focused format. These products are not intended to be distributed immediately; they must be submitted to IHS for review and approval before being shared more broadly, which reflects the cooperative nature of the agreement and the need for alignment with IHS messaging and policy interpretation.
Second, the awardee must develop a detailed outreach and communication plan that uses the approved documents and materials to reach key audiences. This plan must address communication and outreach to IHS itself, national Tribal organizations, and Tribes and Tribal organizations across each of the 12 IHS Areas. The outreach plan is also subject to IHS review and approval prior to implementation, signaling that the agency expects a structured, coordinated approach rather than informal dissemination. In practice, this means the deliverable is not only educational content, but also a concrete strategy for how that content will be delivered, to whom, and through what channels, with attention to national organizations as well as regional and local Tribal stakeholders.
Financially, the program anticipated making two awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $600,000. Each award was set at $300,000 (both the floor and the ceiling), and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial federal involvement in shaping or approving key deliverables, consistent with the explicit IHS review-and-approval steps required for both the written products and the outreach plan. The funding activity category is health, and it is associated with CFDA number 93.933, Demonstration Projects for Indian Health.
Eligibility was limited to non-profit entities with specific demonstrated expertise and a national American Indian/Alaska Native constituency. The opportunity emphasized applicants that can credibly represent Tribal governments and provide services to Tribes, Area Health Boards, Tribal organizations, and federal agencies, and that have a track record of advancing attention to Indian health care needs. It also highlighted experience in promoting and supporting Indian education and in coordinating information-sharing on federal decisions that affect Tribal interests, including decisions tied to improving Indian health care. In addition, applicants were expected to have strong competence in national health policy and health program administration, and to show clear alignment with the IHS mission of improving health care quality for AI/AN people, including evidence of solid support for improved health care in Indian Country.
Administratively, the funding opportunity number was HHS 2011 IHS NIHOE 0003, posted and created on August 19, 2011, with an original and current closing date of September 8, 2011, and an archive date of October 8, 2011. The listed point of contact for access issues related to the full announcement was Paul Gettys, Grant Systems Coordinator in the IHS Grants Policy Office, reachable by phone at 301-443-2114.
