Opportunity Summary:
The Tribal Management Grant (TMG) Program is an Indian Health Service (IHS) discretionary grant opportunity designed to help Tribal governments and Tribal organizations strengthen the management and administrative foundation needed to run health programs. The central focus is building or improving health management infrastructure so Tribes and Tribal organizations can more effectively assume responsibility for Indian Health Service programs, functions, services, and activities (PSFAs). This includes support both for entities that are preparing to take on IHS PSFAs through a Title I contract and for entities that already operate under Title I contracts or Title V compacts and want to further expand or professionalize their management capacity.
A key goal of the program is readiness and sustainability: improving the planning, systems, and internal capabilities required to manage health programs under self-determination and self-governance authorities. The grant can be used to develop or refine management systems necessary for contract management, strengthen program planning and evaluation practices, and help recipients better handle the administrative requirements that come with operating federally funded health services. The opportunity also specifically references authority under 25 U.S.C. Section 450h(e), emphasizing two major uses: first, obtaining technical assistance from providers chosen by the Tribe or Tribal organization (including assistance from other Tribal entities with mature contracts) to support program planning and evaluation, management system development, and the creation of cost allocation plans needed to establish indirect cost rates; and second, supporting activities to plan, design, monitor, and evaluate federal programs that serve the Tribe or Tribal organization, including related federal administrative functions.
The funding opportunity is offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Indian Health Service (HHS-IHS), and is listed under CFDA 93.228. Eligible applicants include federally recognized Native American Tribal governments and Native American Tribal organizations (with additional eligibility details indicated in the full announcement). Awards are grants, not contracts, and the program was structured to make multiple awards in a single cycle: the notice anticipated about 18 awards, with a maximum award amount (ceiling) of $100,000 per award. The opportunity referenced was posted on April 8, 2016, created the same day, and had an application closing date of June 8, 2016.
Overall, the TMG Program is best understood as capacity-building support for Tribal health governance and administration. Rather than paying directly for clinical services, it targets the behind-the-scenes management capabilities that make long-term, effective Tribal administration of health programs possible, such as planning, evaluation, contract/compact management systems, and the financial architecture needed to properly allocate costs and negotiate indirect cost rates.
