Opportunity Summary:
Project Choices Pilot Implementation and Evaluation Program for American Indian and Alaska Native Women (Funding Opportunity Number: HHS 2010 IHS MHCEP 0001) is a discretionary Indian Health Service (IHS) cooperative agreement designed to help American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) women of childbearing age make healthier choices and increase use of effective contraception. The central public health aim is to reduce risk for alcohol-exposed pregnancy (AEP) by implementing and testing the CHOICES intervention model with AI/AN women who meet high-risk criteria. IHS notes that published research suggests the CHOICES model is relevant to AI/AN communities, and this funding supports a focused, limited-competition pilot to see how well the model works when adapted for Native community settings.
The program funds a single three-year pilot project (Expected Awards: 1) with total funding of $200,000, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $200,000 and no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which signals that the awardee should expect substantial federal involvement during the project period rather than operating fully independently. The activity category is health, and the CFDA number listed is 93.231 (Epidemiology Cooperative Agreements).
The work centers on delivering a brief, evidence-based intervention that combines motivational counseling techniques with family planning consultation and services. Importantly, the intervention is meant to operate across both clinical and community-based settings, reflecting how care and support are often accessed in Native communities. The pilot is structured to run in three different settings or sites within Native communities, with the practical goal of learning what tailoring is needed for different local contexts and how feasible it is to operate CHOICES in real-world conditions.
A major deliverable of the project is implementation learning, not just service delivery. The awardee is expected to evaluate and further refine client-facing educational materials originally developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), making sure they fit an AI/AN audience. This refinement is not intended to happen in isolation; the announcement emphasizes broad community-based oversight, meaning community input and guidance are expected to shape the adaptation of materials and how the intervention is delivered.
Technical assistance is built into the program design. CDC will provide technical assistance for training and supporting the health care providers who will implement the CHOICES intervention in AI/AN communities. In addition, both CDC and IHS will provide technical assistance to the evaluation plan and its implementation across the funded settings. A key part of that assistance is helping define process measures during rollout so the project can document what implementation looks like on the ground, what barriers come up, what supports are necessary, and how feasible the model is for future public health planning in AI/AN communities.
By the end of the three-year period, the funded project must compile a final report summarizing intervention delivery experiences. That report is expected to include outcomes, practical lessons learned, and recommendations about future dissemination, including what Tribes, regional stakeholders, CDC, and IHS should consider if the model is expanded more broadly. Overall, the opportunity is structured as a tightly scoped, single-award pilot intended to generate actionable evidence about whether and how CHOICES should be adapted and scaled in Native communities.
Eligibility is limited to specific Native entities: a federally recognized Indian Tribe (as defined by 25 U.S.C. 1603(d)), a Tribal organization (25 U.S.C. 1603(e)), or an Urban Indian organization under the Indian Health Care Improvement Act, Title V (Public Law 94-437, as amended). The opportunity was posted August 19, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 15, 2010, and an archive date of October 15, 2010. The sponsoring agency is the Indian Health Service, and a full announcement link is referenced on the IHS website. For access issues, the contact listed is Paul Gettys, Grant Systems Manager (phone: 301-443-2114).
