Opportunity Summary:
The Office of Urban Indian Health Programs (OUIHP) Title V HIV/AIDS grant opportunity, offered by the Indian Health Service (IHS), is a limited, competitive discretionary grant designed to strengthen HIV prevention and testing services in urban Indian communities. The central goal is to expand routine HIV screening and improve early identification of HIV in American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) populations living in large urban areas. The program emphasizes increasing access to HIV testing options, including rapid HIV testing and standard HIV antibody testing, while building clinic-level systems that make HIV screening a normal, sustainable part of adult health care.
A major focus of the funding is implementing routine HIV screening for adults in line with the 2006 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines. In practice, this means supporting screening approaches that reduce barriers to testing, such as streamlined consent and counseling procedures (for example, verbal consent and opt-out screening when appropriate), establishing a clear written HIV screening policy, and ensuring staff are trained to deliver testing, prevention education, and counseling consistent with the clinic setting and patient needs. While pre- and post-test counseling may be included, the program signals an intention to align with the CDC approach that integrates HIV testing into general medical care rather than treating it as an exceptional service.
Beyond testing itself, the opportunity places strong importance on outreach and follow-through. Grantees are expected to conduct outreach to higher-risk urban AI/AN populations, connect individuals to services that are not available on site through referrals, and actively follow up with patients or clients who are referred. A key element is having a clear protocol for responding to positive results, including linkages to HIV medical care and other supportive services, so that testing leads to timely treatment engagement rather than ending at diagnosis. The announcement also allows programs to bundle HIV testing with screening for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), recognizing that combined screening can be practical and can improve uptake and overall sexual health outcomes.
The grants are also framed as a way to identify and spread best practices that increase local capacity. IHS is not only funding direct service expansion, but also seeking models that urban Indian health program sites can replicate to better meet HIV testing, prevention, and treatment needs among urban AI/AN populations. Because of that broader learning objective, grantees are expected to collaborate closely with OUIHP and coordinate with the IHS National HIV Program. The projects also anticipate coordination with other HHS operating divisions where relevant, including the CDC, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), and the Office of HIV/AIDS Policy. To support oversight and shared learning, awardees are expected, to the extent permitted by law, to submit and share anonymous, non-identifiable data related to HIV testing, treatment, and education activities.
Eligibility is narrowly limited to Title V Urban Indian organizations as defined in federal law (25 U.S.C. 1603(29)). In addition to being a qualifying Title V Urban Indian organization, applicants must meet several readiness and capacity conditions, including having state certification to conduct rapid HIV testing where that certification is required, having trained health professionals and staff in HIV screening tools and related education, prevention, counseling, and interventions, and having programs that support community and group-based efforts to sustain risk-reduction skills. Applicants must also have HIV/AIDS quality assurance and improvement activities in place, must operate at an IHS-defined full ambulatory level (provider on staff at least 40 hours per week) or limited ambulatory level (provider on staff less than 40 hours per week), and must submit proof of nonprofit status with the application.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2012 IHS UIHP 0001; CFDA 93.193 Urban Indian Health Services) projected up to 10 awards with an estimated total program funding level of $600,000. Individual awards were expected to range from $30,000 to $60,000, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The announcement was posted June 22, 2012, with an application closing date of July 20, 2012 (and later archived August 19, 2012). For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact was Paul Gettys, Grant Systems Coordinator, at 301-443-2114.
