Opportunity Summary:
The National Indian Health Outreach and Education (NIHOE) opportunity is an Indian Health Service (IHS) cooperative agreement funding announcement designed to strengthen national-level outreach and education in American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities. The overall intent is to advance IHS health program priorities by expanding the reach, consistency, and impact of education and outreach tied to two major focus areas: behavioral health work under the Methamphetamine and Suicide Prevention Intervention (MSPI) program, and prevention, screening, linkage to care, and disparity reduction efforts under the national HIV/AIDS program. Rather than funding direct clinical services alone, this opportunity emphasizes coordinated national outreach and education that supports Tribes and the broader IHS/Tribal/Urban (I/T/U) system in improving Indian health outcomes.
This announcement funds two separate awards (two expected awards total), one aligned to MSPI and one aligned to HIV/AIDS. Total estimated funding is $250,000, with individual awards ranging from $100,000 to $150,000 (award floor and ceiling). The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, meaning recipients should expect substantial involvement from IHS in the project’s direction, coordination, or oversight compared to a standard grant. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary health funding under CFDA 93.933 (Demonstration Projects for Indian Health). No cost sharing or matching is required. The opportunity was posted July 2, 2012, with an application closing date of August 2, 2012, and an archive date of September 1, 2012.
The MSPI portion supports the goals of the national MSPI demonstration project, which targets two connected crises in Indian Country: methamphetamine use and suicide. The program’s approach is community-driven and rooted in culturally appropriate prevention and treatment strategies, with an emphasis on both evidence-based and practice-based models that make sense in local Tribal contexts. MSPI’s stated goals include preventing, reducing, or delaying methamphetamine use and its spread; building on prior methamphetamine and suicide prevention and treatment efforts; supporting IHS, Tribes, and Urban Indian health organizations as they develop and implement culturally grounded prevention and early intervention strategies; increasing access to prevention services; improving behavioral health services tied to methamphetamine use and suicide prevention; and promoting new, promising, community-relevant approaches that can demonstrate measurable impact. A key nuance is that, while the national MSPI program generally includes urban outreach, outreach specifically targeted to urban Indian organizations was expected to be handled through a separate award announcement; however, educational materials produced under this NIHOE MSPI award may still be shared with urban Indian organizations at IHS discretion.
The HIV/AIDS portion is intended to advance the national IHS HIV/AIDS program and aligns with the three core goals of the President’s National HIV/AIDS Strategy: reducing new infections, increasing access to care and improving outcomes for people living with HIV, and reducing HIV-related disparities. The rationale presented in the announcement is that HIV/AIDS is a growing and serious concern for AI/AN communities, with AI/AN populations ranked third nationally in HIV/AIDS diagnosis rates among racial and ethnic groups at the time of the notice. The announcement highlights contributing disparities and risk factors such as substance use and sexually transmitted infections, and it emphasizes that HIV affects both rural and urban AI/AN populations, including on or near Tribal lands. A major issue identified is underdiagnosis and missed screening opportunities, with many people living with HIV not aware of their status. In response, the program seeks to move beyond general awareness campaigns and toward routine integration of HIV services within broader health care delivery, including normalizing HIV discussions, improving how HIV testing is embedded in standard health services, and strengthening linkages to and access to care. The HIV/AIDS program is described as comprehensive and collaborative, working across multiple health sectors and service delivery settings throughout I/T/U facilities, and aligned with the IHS HIV/AIDS Strategic Plan.
Eligibility is narrowly defined. Applicants must be 501(c)(3) nonprofit entities that qualify as National Indian Organizations with the infrastructure to carry out national-scale outreach and education. The organization must demonstrate substantial expertise and a national AI/AN constituency, including experience representing Tribal governments; providing services to Tribes, area health boards, Tribal organizations, and federal agencies; and playing a recognized role in elevating Indian health care needs. The eligible applicant must also show capacity in national health policy and health program administration, document clear support for services aligned with the IHS mission to improve AI/AN health care quality, and provide evidence of at least ten years of experience delivering education and outreach on a national scale. In short, the program is aimed at established, nationally oriented AI/AN-serving nonprofits with a proven track record in Indian health education, policy, and coordination.
