Opportunity Summary:
The Native American Research Centers for Health (NARCH) V and VI Competitive Supplements opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2011-IHS-NARCH-0001) is a discretionary grant program run by the Indian Health Service (IHS) to provide add-on funding to certain existing NARCH projects. It is not a standalone new NARCH award; instead, it is designed to supplement current NARCH V or NARCH VI grants so those teams can take on a focused, time-sensitive set of activities related to HIV prevention and intervention work in American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities.
The central goal of the supplement is feasibility: it aims to determine whether HIV Evidence-Based Interventions (EBIs) that have been supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) can be adapted and implemented effectively in AI/AN settings. In practice, this means funded projects are expected to take one or more CDC-supported HIV EBIs and thoughtfully tailor them to fit the cultural context, community needs, service delivery realities, and local strengths of AI/AN communities. Just as importantly, applicants are expected to contribute to and document what a successful adaptation and implementation looks like in this new population and setting. The emphasis is on learning what it takes to make an intervention work well outside the original environment it was designed for, and on producing useful documentation that can guide future replication or scaling.
A required component of the work is data collection and analysis over time. The announcement specifies baseline and ongoing data collection, with analysis used to inform judgments about feasibility now and to help determine future effectiveness of the adapted intervention later. In other words, the supplement funding supports the groundwork needed to understand whether the adapted EBI can be delivered as intended, accepted by participants and communities, implemented with fidelity while still being culturally responsive, and monitored with meaningful measures. The data element also signals that projects should be set up in a way that produces credible evidence about implementation progress and early outcomes, even if the supplement itself is primarily oriented toward feasibility rather than a large-scale effectiveness trial.
Funding is structured around a very small number of awards and relatively large individual grant amounts. The opportunity anticipates making 2 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,400,000. Each award is set at a fixed level, with both the award ceiling and award floor listed as $700,000, indicating that awards were expected to be made at that amount rather than across a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding activity category is Health, and the CFDA number associated with the program is 93.933 (Demonstration Projects for Indian Health), which reflects the public health and applied, community-relevant nature of the work.
Eligibility is tightly limited. Only current NARCH grantees with at least two years remaining in their current NARCH project period may apply, meaning the supplement is meant for established, active NARCH centers that have sufficient time left in their existing grant to carry out the added scope responsibly. Eligibility status is to be confirmed by the IHS Research Program, so applicants would need to be in good standing and verifiably within the eligible NARCH cohort.
Key administrative details include the posting date of August 12, 2011, and an original and current closing date of August 29, 2011, indicating a short application window typical of competitive supplements. The opportunity was archived on September 28, 2011. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact was Paul Gettys, Grant Systems Coordinator in the Grants Policy Office, reachable by phone at 301-443-2114.
Overall, this supplement opportunity is best understood as targeted support for existing NARCH infrastructure to accelerate culturally grounded HIV intervention adaptation work, while building a documented and data-informed foundation that can support future assessments of effectiveness and broader dissemination within AI/AN communities.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the NARCH V and VI Competitive Supplements opportunity?
The Native American Research Centers for Health (NARCH) V and VI Competitive Supplements opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2011-IHS-NARCH-0001) is a discretionary grant program administered by the Indian Health Service (IHS). It provides add-on (supplemental) funding to certain existing NARCH projects rather than creating brand-new NARCH awards.
Is this a standalone grant or a supplement to an existing award?
This is not a standalone new NARCH award. It is specifically designed as a competitive supplement to existing NARCH V or NARCH VI grants, allowing current NARCH teams to add a focused set of time-sensitive activities to their ongoing project.
What is the main purpose of these competitive supplements?
The main purpose is to support feasibility work focused on HIV prevention and intervention in American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities. The supplement aims to determine whether HIV Evidence-Based Interventions (EBIs) supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) can be adapted and implemented effectively in AI/AN settings.
What types of interventions are the projects expected to use?
Funded projects are expected to take one or more CDC-supported HIV Evidence-Based Interventions (EBIs) and adapt them thoughtfully for AI/AN communities, taking into account cultural context, community needs, local strengths, and real-world service delivery conditions.
What does "adaptation" mean in the context of this opportunity?
Adaptation means tailoring a CDC-supported HIV EBI so it fits AI/AN settings. This includes aligning the intervention with cultural context, making it workable within local service delivery realities, responding to community priorities, and ensuring the approach remains both culturally responsive and implementable as intended.
What is meant by "feasibility" in this announcement?
Feasibility refers to whether the adapted HIV EBI can realistically be delivered in AI/AN settings in a way that is acceptable to participants and communities, can be implemented with fidelity while still being culturally responsive, and can be monitored using meaningful measures over time. The focus is on whether implementation can work well in practice, not on running a large-scale effectiveness trial.
Are applicants expected to produce documentation or lessons learned?
Yes. A key expectation is that awardees will contribute to and document what successful adaptation and implementation look like in AI/AN communities. The emphasis is on generating useful documentation that can guide future replication or scaling in similar settings.
Is data collection required as part of the supplement work?
Yes. The announcement specifies baseline and ongoing data collection over time. Data collection and analysis are required components and are intended to inform feasibility judgments now and help determine future effectiveness of the adapted intervention later.
What is the role of data analysis in this supplement?
Data analysis is used to assess implementation progress and early outcomes in a credible way. While the supplement is primarily oriented toward feasibility, the required data and analysis are intended to establish a strong foundation for later assessments of effectiveness.
