Opportunity Summary:
The Tribal Management Grant (TMG) Program is an Indian Health Service (IHS) discretionary grant opportunity designed to help Federally recognized Tribes and Tribal Organizations strengthen the management and administrative foundation needed to run health programs effectively. The core goal is to build or improve health management infrastructure so that Tribes and Tribal Organizations can assume responsibility for some or all existing IHS programs, functions, services, and activities (PSFA) through Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (ISDEAA) mechanisms. In practical terms, this funding supports the planning, systems, staffing approaches, and management tools that make it possible to take on IHS-operated health services under a Title I contract, and it also helps existing Title I contractors and Title V compactors expand and sharpen their management capacity over time.
A major emphasis of the program is self-determination readiness and long-term operational improvement. For applicants preparing to enter into Title I contracting, the grant can be used to do the upfront work required to transition programs responsibly, such as assessing what PSFA to assume, developing implementation plans, strengthening governance and oversight processes, and establishing administrative systems that will hold up under federal requirements. For Tribes and Tribal Organizations that already operate under Title I contracts or Title V compacts, the program supports further refinement of management capability, such as improving financial systems, compliance functions, reporting capacity, and internal controls that support mature program operations.
The announcement also highlights specific authorized uses tied to 25 U.S.C. 450h(e). Under this authority, TMG funds may be used to obtain technical assistance from providers chosen by the Tribe or Tribal Organization, including assistance aimed at program planning and evaluation. This can include developing management systems needed for contract management and building cost allocation plans that support indirect cost rate development. The grant may also support the planning, design, monitoring, and evaluation of federal programs that serve the Tribe or Tribal Organization, including reviewing and assessing federal administrative functions connected to those programs. Overall, the opportunity is structured to let Tribes and Tribal Organizations select the expertise and capacity-building activities that best fit their stage of readiness and local priorities, while keeping the work focused on stronger governance and management of health-related programs.
Eligibility is limited to Indian Tribes and Tribal Organizations as defined by the ISDEAA. An Indian Tribe includes any federally recognized tribe, band, nation, or other organized group or community, including Alaska Native villages and regional or village corporations recognized under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act. A Tribal Organization is the recognized governing body of an Indian Tribe, or a legally established Indian organization that is controlled, sanctioned, or chartered by the tribal governing body (or democratically elected by the adult members of the community served) and reflects maximum participation of Indians in its activities. Tribal Organizations must provide proof of nonprofit status. The opportunity limits submissions to one application per Tribe or Tribal Organization.
From a funding standpoint, IHS expected to make 16 awards with an estimated total funding level of $2,412,000. Individual awards were expected to fall between $50,000 (floor) and $100,000 (ceiling), and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces barriers for applicants that may not have non-federal funds available. The program is listed under CFDA 93.228, the Indian Health Service Health Management Development Program, and the funding instrument is a grant within the health activity category.
Key administrative details in the posted notice include the Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2015 IHS TMD 0001 and the title Tribal Management Grant Program. The opportunity was posted March 19, 2015, with a closing date of June 3, 2015, and an archive date of July 3, 2015 (indicating this specific posting is historical, even though the program itself may reappear in later cycles).
