Opportunity Summary:
The National Indian Health Outreach and Education grant (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2012-IHS-NIHOE-0001) is a discretionary Indian Health Service (IHS) cooperative agreement designed to strengthen IHS efforts to provide high-quality health care for American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities. The central purpose is outreach and education with a single, explicit end result: improving Indian health care. Because it is structured as a cooperative agreement, the recipient should expect active federal involvement and collaboration with IHS in carrying out the project, rather than operating in a fully hands-off grant environment.
The award is built around four specific health services components that collectively support both community-facing education and higher-level policy and planning work. These components include: (1) Retained Tribal Shares focused on outreach and health education activities for Tribes; (2) Health Care Policy Analysis and Review to examine, interpret, and communicate policy issues affecting Indian health care; (3) Budget Formulation support tied to Indian health priorities and federal budget processes; and (4) support for the Tribal Leaders Diabetes Committee (TLDC), reflecting the ongoing importance of diabetes as a major health concern in Indian Country and the value of coordinated tribal leadership input in addressing it.
Funding for the opportunity totals $966,000, with the award ceiling and floor both set at $966,000, indicating IHS planned a single, fixed-size award rather than a range of potential award amounts. IHS anticipated making one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers barriers for eligible organizations by not requiring them to contribute additional non-federal funds to access the full award.
Eligibility is narrowly targeted to nonprofit organizations with IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), specifically national Indian organizations. To qualify, applicants must demonstrate proven expertise and capacity in several areas: representing all tribal governments and delivering services to Tribes, Area Health Boards, tribal organizations, and federal agencies; elevating attention to Indian health care needs in ways that contribute to improved outcomes; promoting and supporting Indian education and helping AI/AN communities understand federal decisions affecting tribal government interests, including decisions tied to health care improvement; administering national health policy and health programs; maintaining a national AI/AN constituency; and clearly supporting essential services aligned with the IHS mission to improve the quality of care for AI/AN people. Beyond experience, the announcement emphasizes that the national Indian organization must already have the infrastructure needed to successfully carry out the proposed work, signaling that readiness and operational capacity are key review considerations.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on August 21, 2012, with an application closing date of September 10, 2012, and it was archived on October 10, 2012. The program is associated with CFDA number 93.933, Demonstration Projects for Indian Health. For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full funding opportunity announcement, IHS listed a point of contact: Paul Gettys, Grant Systems Coordinator, reachable at 301-443-2114 through Grants Policy Staff.
