Opportunity Summary:
The Special Diabetes Program for Indians (SDPI) Community Directed Program is a discretionary Indian Health Service (IHS) cooperative agreement designed to support diabetes prevention and treatment efforts in American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities. The core intent is to fund practical, community-driven activities and services that either reduce diabetes risk among people who are at risk, improve the quality of care for individuals already diagnosed with diabetes, and/or reduce diabetes-related complications. Under this opportunity, each funded grantee is expected to implement one SDPI Diabetes Best Practice and consistently report data tied to that Best Practice through its Required Key Measure. Beyond the required Best Practice, programs may add other diabetes-related activities and services that reflect local priorities and needs, and they are expected to build an evaluation approach that helps track results and improve program performance over time.
This opportunity was issued by the Indian Health Service under Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2016-IHS-SDPI-0001 (CFDA 93.237, Special Diabetes Program for Indians Diabetes Prevention and Treatment Projects). The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally means recipients should anticipate an ongoing working relationship with IHS that may include federal involvement in areas such as program guidance, performance monitoring, and technical assistance, rather than a hands-off grant structure. The total estimated funding level listed for the program is $130,200,000, with an anticipated 450 awards. Individual awards range from a floor of $12,500 up to a ceiling of $6,500,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants.
Eligibility is focused on organizations that operate Indian health programs within established federal authorities. Eligible applicants include federally recognized Indian Tribes (as defined by 25 U.S.C. 1603(14)) operating an Indian health program under the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (ISDEAA, Public Law 93-638) through an IHS contract, grant, cooperative agreement, or compact. Tribal organizations (25 U.S.C. 1603(26)) operating Indian health programs under ISDEAA mechanisms are also eligible. Urban Indian organizations (25 U.S.C. 1603(29)) are eligible if they operate a Title V urban Indian health program and currently have an IHS grant or contract under Title V of the Indian Health Care Improvement Act (Public Law 93-437); these applicants must submit proof of nonprofit status such as IRS 501(c)(3) documentation with the application. IHS facilities may also apply under the announcement, but there are important limits intended to prevent duplicative awards within the same entity.
A key structural rule in this program is that only one SDPI Community Directed diabetes grant will be awarded per entity under this announcement. The notice also clarifies how applications interact between Tribes and local IHS facilities: if a Tribe submits an application, the local IHS facility cannot apply separately; if the Tribe does not submit, the IHS facility can apply. Even when a Tribe is the primary grantee, the program allows the Tribe to subcontract with a local IHS facility to deliver specific clinical services, keeping the Tribe as the main recipient while using the facility as a subcontractor when appropriate.
From an application logistics standpoint, the announcement flags a practical submission issue that can easily trip up applicants: while Grants.gov may accept compressed or zipped attachments, IHS systems cannot accept zipped files once the application is transmitted into the IHS grants management system. Applicants should attach documents as individual files through the application package attachment pages rather than bundling them into zip archives, and there is no stated limit in the attachment section that would require zipping.
The public posting timeline included a posted date of August 7, 2015, a creation date of August 31, 2015, and an application closing date of October 7, 2015 (with the same date listed as both the original and current closing date). The archive date is November 6, 2015. For support accessing the full announcement, the notice lists a contact point: Paul Gettys, Grant Systems Coordinator, at 301-443-2114 or 301-443-5204 (Grants Policy Office).
