Opportunity Summary:
The Tribal Management Grant (TMG) Program is an Indian Health Service (IHS) discretionary grant opportunity designed to strengthen tribal health management capacity and infrastructure. Its central goal is to help Indian Tribes and Tribal Organizations (T/TO) build the administrative, financial, and organizational systems needed to manage health programs effectively, especially in situations where a tribe or tribal organization is preparing to take over, or expand its control of, existing IHS programs, functions, services, and activities (often referred to as PSFA). In practical terms, the program supports tribes that want to assume responsibility for IHS-supported services through a Title I contract under the Indian Health Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (ISDEAA), and it also supports tribes that already operate under Title I contracts or Title V compacts and want to further improve and professionalize their management capabilities.
A key feature of this opportunity is that it funds management development rather than direct clinical service delivery. The grant is meant to help recipients improve the backbone of a health system: planning, governance and oversight, financial management, internal controls, staffing structures, data and reporting processes, and other foundational capabilities that make a self-determined health program work smoothly and remain compliant. The announcement also highlights specific statutory authority under 25 U.S.C. 450h(e), which allows TMG funds to be used for two broad purposes. First, tribes and tribal organizations may use funds to obtain technical assistance from providers they choose, including other tribes or tribal organizations with mature contracting experience, to support program planning and evaluation, develop management systems necessary for contract management, and create cost allocation plans that support indirect cost rate development. Second, funds may be used to plan, design, monitor, and evaluate federal programs serving the tribe or tribal organization, including related federal administrative functions, which can help a community understand how programs operate and how to manage them effectively after assuming responsibility.
Funding for this specific opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2014 IHS TMD 0001) was projected at an estimated total of $1,412,000, with IHS expecting to make about 16 awards. Individual awards were anticipated to range from a floor of $50,000 to a ceiling of $100,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces the financial barrier for eligible applicants. The program falls under CFDA 93.228, identified as the Indian Health Service Health Management Development Program, and is categorized under the health funding activity area.
Eligibility is limited to federally recognized Native American tribal governments and tribal organizations as defined by ISDEAA. An "Indian Tribe" includes tribes, bands, nations, or other organized communities, including Alaska Native villages and Alaska Native regional or village corporations recognized as eligible for special federal programs and services because of their status. A "Tribal organization" includes the recognized governing body of a tribe or a legally established Indian organization that is controlled, sanctioned, or chartered by that governing body (or democratically elected by the adult members of the community served) and must reflect maximum Indian participation across its activities. Tribal organizations were required to provide proof of nonprofit status. The opportunity limited submissions to one application per tribe or tribal organization, which encourages applicants to consolidate priorities into a single, coherent management development proposal.
From an administrative perspective, this opportunity was posted on July 3, 2014, and had an application deadline of August 5, 2014, with an archive date of September 4, 2014. While those dates indicate this particular announcement is historical, the summary still reflects the structure and intent of the TMG program as a tool for supporting tribal self-determination in health program administration. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the issuing agency is the Indian Health Service. For applicants who had trouble accessing the full funding announcement at the time, the listed contact was Paul Gettys, Grant Systems Coordinator, at 301-443-2114 through the Grants Policy Office.
