Opportunity Summary:
The Special Diabetes Program for Indians (SDPI) Community Directed Grant Program is a competitive Indian Health Service (IHS) funding opportunity for FY 2010 designed to strengthen diabetes prevention and treatment in American Indian and Alaska Native communities. The program’s overall goal is to help communities reduce diabetes risk among people who are at risk, improve services for individuals with newly diagnosed diabetes, ensure high quality ongoing care for people already diagnosed, and lower the rate of diabetes-related complications. Projects are expected to be community-driven, meaning applicants should base their proposed activities on documented local diabetes needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
This opportunity is specifically for existing SDPI grantees that already have an active award and can show they have complied with prior SDPI grant terms and conditions. It is not a noncompetitive “continued funding” application in the way earlier Community Directed grants may have operated; instead, it functions as a competing continuation where eligible entities must apply and compete for funding. The program is authorized under H.R. 6331, the Medicare Improvement for Patients and Providers Act of 2008 (Section 303 of Public Law 110-275), as well as the Snyder Act (25 U.S.C. 13), and it is listed in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance under CFDA 93.237.
A key program requirement is that applicants must present a program plan that integrates at least one IHS Diabetes Best Practice, grounding proposed work in evidence-based approaches recognized by IHS. In addition, applicants must have a strong evaluation plan that tracks outcome measures, showing how the program will measure progress and results rather than only reporting activities. In practice, that means applicants need to be clear about what they will do, which best practice(s) they will implement, and how they will quantify impact over time through measurable outcomes.
Funding is provided as a grant with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The estimated total funding available is $104,800,000, with an expected 90 awards. Individual awards range from a floor of $20,000 to a ceiling of $6,000,000, reflecting that projects may vary widely in scale depending on the applicant’s population size, service area, and program design. The opportunity was posted September 24, 2009, with a final closing date of October 24, 2009, and an archive date of November 23, 2009.
Eligibility is limited and tied closely to IHS and Indian Self-Determination authorities. Eligible applicants include federally recognized Tribes operating an Indian health program under a contract, grant, cooperative agreement, or compact with IHS pursuant to the Indian Self-Determination Act (Public Law 93-638); Tribal organizations operating an Indian health program under the same ISDA authorities; and Urban Indian health programs operating a Title V Urban Indian Health Program under the Indian Health Care Improvement Act. Indian Health Service facilities may also be eligible, but the announcement sets coordination rules to avoid duplicate applications from the same service area. Only one SDPI Community Directed diabetes grant will be awarded per entity. If a Tribe submits an application, its local IHS facility cannot apply separately; if the Tribe does not apply, then the IHS facility can apply. The announcement also notes that Tribes receiving awards may subcontract with local IHS facilities for specific clinical services, but the Tribe remains the primary grantee while the federal facility operates under a subcontract arrangement within the Tribal grant.
The announcement also includes explicit exclusions based on prior Tribal consultation. Nonprofit Tribal organizations and national or regional health boards are not eligible under this opportunity, and applications that do not meet the stated eligibility requirements are returned without review. For access issues related to the full announcement, the posted point of contact is Tammy Bagley, Senior Grants Policy Analyst (301-443-7172) in the IHS Grants Policy Staff.
