Opportunity Summary:
The National Indian Health Outreach and Education grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2014-IHS-NIHOE-0001) is a discretionary Indian Health Service (IHS) cooperative agreement designed to support a single national-level effort that advances outreach, education, and policy-related work tied to improving health care for American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) people. The program is positioned as a new/competing continuation announcement, meaning it is aimed at continuing a national function with competition rather than launching a broad, open field of many awards. The core intent is to strengthen and coordinate national activities that help focus attention on Indian health needs, inform tribes and stakeholders about federal actions that affect tribal interests, and support work that ultimately contributes to improved health outcomes in Indian Country.
Eligibility is narrow and specific. Applicants must be a national Indian organization that is recognized as a nonprofit with 501(c)(3) status (proof of nonprofit status must be included in the application). Beyond the tax status requirement, the organization must demonstrate established, national-scale expertise and capacity in several areas: representing all tribal governments and providing services across tribes, Area Health Boards, tribal organizations, and federal agencies; playing a major role in elevating Indian health care needs and contributing to improved outcomes; promoting and supporting Indian education while coordinating efforts to keep AI/AN communities informed about federal decisions affecting tribal government interests, including decisions related to health care improvement; administering national health policy and health programs; maintaining a national AI/AN constituency; and clearly supporting essential services and activities that align with the IHS mission of improving health care quality for AI/AN people. The announcement also emphasizes that the organization must already have the infrastructure needed to carry out the proposed program, signaling that IHS expects an applicant with proven operational capacity rather than a group building these systems from scratch.
Funding details are straightforward and fixed for this cycle. IHS anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $766,000. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $766,000, which indicates a single, set award size rather than a range of potential budgets. The program falls under CFDA number 93.933 (Demonstration Projects for Indian Health). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Key dates show this opportunity was posted on August 25, 2014, with an original and current closing date of September 25, 2014, and an archive date of October 25, 2014. While those dates reflect the historical posting, they also help clarify that the opportunity was time-limited and part of a specific funding cycle. The administering agency is the Indian Health Service, and the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means IHS expects substantial involvement in the project beyond what is seen in a standard grant, such as ongoing collaboration, coordination, or programmatic oversight during implementation.
For access and application support, the announcement provides a contact for technical difficulty obtaining the full funding opportunity: Paul Gettys, Grant Systems Coordinator, Grants Policy Office, at 301-443-2114. The listing also references an additional information link to the full funding opportunity announcement, where the detailed scope of work, required application components, reporting expectations, and evaluation criteria would normally be described.
