Opportunity Summary:

The Title V HIV/AIDS Competing Continuation Grants opportunity is a discretionary grant program run by the Indian Health Service (IHS) through its Office of Urban Indian Health Programs (OUIHP). It is set up as a "competing continuation," meaning it is aimed at continuing and expanding existing Title V "4 in 1" grant efforts rather than launching an entirely new initiative from scratch. The work is connected to the Office of HIV/AIDS Policy (OHAP) and the Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI), with a clear focus on strengthening HIV prevention and screening services for American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) people served by urban Indian health programs.

At its core, the grant is designed to increase the number of AI/AN individuals who know their HIV status. The funded activities emphasize making HIV testing more routine and accessible in urban Indian health settings, including routine and/or rapid HIV screening, along with prevention services and pre-test and post-test counseling when appropriate. The announcement also highlights the need to reduce HIV incidence in urban Indian communities by improving access to HIV-related services, reducing stigma, and normalizing HIV testing as a regular part of care, rather than something only done when someone is perceived to be at high risk.

The opportunity is backed by federal statutory authority, specifically the Snyder Act (Public Law 67-85) and sections 1652 and 1653 of the Indian Health Care Improvement Act (Public Law 94-437, as amended). For federal grants classification purposes, it is listed under CFDA 93.193, Urban Indian Health Services, which signals it sits within the broader federal framework supporting health services for urban Indian populations.

Funding details in the announcement indicate a total estimated funding amount of $375,000, with an expectation of making five awards. Each award is set at a fixed level, with both the award floor and award ceiling listed as $75,000, meaning applicants should plan around a $75,000 budget per award. The notice specifies there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which can lower the barrier for eligible organizations that might not have access to significant non-federal funds.

Eligibility is limited to urban Indian organizations as defined under 25 U.S.C. 1603(h), and the program adds several readiness requirements. Eligible applicants must have state certification to conduct rapid HIV testing where that certification is required. They also need to show that their health professionals and staff have been trained in HIV/AIDS screening tools, education, prevention, counseling, and other interventions relevant to AI/AN populations. In addition, applicants are expected to have developed programs that support community and group-based support systems to help sustain risk-reduction skills over time, and they must have implemented HIV/AIDS quality assurance and improvement programs. Finally, applicants must provide proof of nonprofit status as part of the application package.

Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number (HHS-2010-IHS-UIHP-0001), and the timeline reflected that the opportunity was posted on February 26, 2010, with a current closing date of April 1, 2010, and an archive date of May 1, 2010. For applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically, the listed contact was Tammy Bagley, Senior Grants Policy Analyst, reachable by phone at 301-443-7172, along with a reference to the IHS Grants Policy website for further support and guidance.
