Opportunity Summary:
The National Indian Health Outreach and Education (NIHOE) grant opportunity was a discretionary Indian Health Service (IHS) cooperative agreement designed to strengthen IHS efforts to improve health outcomes for American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities through coordinated national-level outreach and education. The program was framed as a limited competition, meaning it was not broadly open to all organizations; it targeted a narrow set of eligible national Indian organizations with established capacity and a track record of representing Tribal interests in health. The central goal was straightforward and singular: improve Indian health care by expanding effective outreach, education, and related support functions that align with IHS mission priorities.
This opportunity offered one expected award with a total estimated funding amount of $716,000, which also served as both the award ceiling and floor, indicating IHS anticipated making a single, fixed-size award rather than a range of awards. The funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, which generally signals substantial involvement by the federal agency during project implementation (for example, coordination, guidance, or shared programmatic decision-making) compared with a standard grant. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds to receive the award.
The funded work was organized around four specific health services components. First, it included Line Item 128 Health Education and Outreach funds, emphasizing activities that educate and engage AI/AN communities and stakeholders to improve access, understanding, and use of health services. Second, it supported Health Care Policy Analysis and Review, pointing to responsibilities such as analyzing federal and Tribal health policy impacts, assessing program effectiveness, and providing informed input on policy directions relevant to Indian health care. Third, it covered Budget Formulation, reflecting an expectation that the recipient would help with planning or advising on budget development processes tied to IHS priorities and the broader Indian health system. Fourth, it included support for the Tribal Leaders Diabetes Committee (TLDC), highlighting diabetes as a critical health priority and indicating the recipient would assist in convening leaders, coordinating strategy, and advancing diabetes-related initiatives in Indian Country.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) that qualify as national Indian organizations and meet defined experience and infrastructure expectations. IHS specified that applicants must demonstrate expertise in representing all Tribal governments and providing services to Tribes, Area Health Boards, Tribal organizations, and federal agencies, with evidence that their work has helped focus attention on Indian health needs and improved outcomes. Applicants also needed demonstrated ability to promote and support Indian education, coordinate efforts to inform AI/AN communities about federal decisions affecting Tribal interests (including decisions tied to health care improvement), administer national health policy and health programs, maintain a national AI/AN constituency, and show clear alignment with IHS mission-critical services and activities that support improved health care in Indian Country. Beyond experience, the organization had to have the operational infrastructure needed to carry out the proposed national program work.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on August 5, 2013, with an application deadline of September 6, 2013, and it was archived on October 6, 2013. It was identified under Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-IHS-NIHOE-0001 and associated with CFDA 93.933 (Demonstration Projects for Indian Health). For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, IHS provided a contact in the Grants Office: Paul Gettys, Grant Systems Coordinator, at 301-443-2114.
