Opportunity Summary:
The Indian Health Service (IHS) grant opportunity titled "Sexual Assault Projects Expansion Community Developed Models" is a discretionary grant program designed to expand and strengthen sexual assault (SA) services for American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) people living in urban areas. The program is structured as a limited, targeted competition, meaning not all organizations can apply. Eligibility is restricted to Urban Indian Organizations as defined under Public Law 94-437, the Indian Health Care Improvement Act (IHCIA), as amended, Title V (Urban Indian Health organizations). In practical terms, the grant is meant to help urban Indian health programs build out more responsive, culturally grounded, and better coordinated prevention and survivor-support systems in cities and metropolitan areas where many AI/AN individuals and families live.
The core purpose of the funding is to increase the availability of sexual assault services, strengthen advocacy capacity, and expand community collaborations that support prevention and response in urban AI/AN communities across the United States. IHS frames this as both a service expansion effort and a systems-improvement effort: applicants are expected not only to provide direct support to survivors, but also to build sustainable local partnerships and referral pathways so that survivors can access medical, behavioral health, social services, and victim assistance resources in a timely and culturally informed way. The broader justification behind the solicitation is to improve AI/AN health and well-being by strengthening urban Indian health programs and expanding mental health and prevention services specifically related to sexual assault.
Projects funded under this opportunity must align with seven guiding principles that function like required program elements. First, grantees must coordinate services in the urban community to respond to local sexual assault crises. This can include outreach to improve access to local Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) programs, sharing information with those programs about AI/AN culture and social issues, and helping SANEs connect survivors to other interventions through organized orientation and referral systems (for example, behavioral health counseling, social services, and victim-of-crime services offered by or connected to the urban Indian program). Second, projects must participate in a nationally coordinated effort focused specifically on increasing access to sexual assault prevention and/or treatment services for survivors and their families, indicating that IHS expects alignment and collaboration beyond the local level. Third, funded work must provide community-focused responses in the urban setting that strengthen evidence-based or practice-based prevention, treatment services, or education programming, emphasizing approaches that are supported by research, established practice, or demonstrated effectiveness in comparable communities.
The fourth principle requires grantees to provide resources that help communities develop their own urban-based, community-driven programs, reinforcing that the model should be locally shaped rather than imposed. Fifth, projects must establish baseline data in their local communities, suggesting an expectation of measurement and an ability to track conditions before and after implementation. Sixth, applicants must document the level of need in the urban Indian community, which likely involves describing gaps in services, barriers to access, and local prevalence or risk factors as supported by available data and community input. Seventh, the program must be scaled to a level that produces measurable impact, meaning the project design should be large enough and structured enough that outcomes can be reasonably observed and reported, rather than being too small or informal to evaluate.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2010-IHS-BHSA-0001, under the health activity category, and tied to CFDA 93.933 (Demonstration Projects for Indian Health). IHS anticipated making five awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $262,000. Each award is set at a fixed amount, with both the award ceiling and award floor listed as $52,400, indicating each selected applicant would receive the same funding level. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which reduces barriers for eligible urban Indian organizations that may not have flexible funds to contribute as a match.
The announcement was posted in mid-May 2010, with an original closing date of June 11, 2010, later extended to June 14, 2010, and archived on July 14, 2010. For applicants needing access to the full announcement, IHS pointed readers to its grants policy website and provided a contact for assistance: Paul Gettys, Grant Systems Manager, at 301-443-2114.
