Opportunity Summary:
The Tribal Self Governance Grant Program, offered by the Indian Health Service (IHS), supports federally recognized Tribes that want to enter the Tribal Self Governance Program (TSGP) and take on greater control of IHS health-related programs and operations. The specific funding mechanism in this opportunity is a Planning and Negotiation Cooperative Agreement, meant to cover the practical costs a Tribe faces while getting ready for and negotiating a self-governance compact with IHS. The underlying goal is to strengthen Tribal self-determination by giving Tribes a clear pathway to assume responsibility for IHS programs, services, functions, and activities (PSFAs), in whole or in part, through negotiated agreements rather than having those services run directly by IHS.
This opportunity is authorized under Title V of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (Public Law 93-638, as amended), as updated by the Tribal Self-Governance Amendments of 2000 (Public Law 106-260). Because the statute limits which entities can participate, the announcement notes that there is limited competition: eligibility is restricted to Tribes that meet the legal criteria described in the solicitation. In practice, this means the program is not an open competition for all organizations, but a targeted funding stream for qualifying Tribes preparing to engage in the Title V self-governance compacting process.
Funding is provided as a discretionary cooperative agreement (not a contract), within the health funding category, and is listed under CFDA 93.444 (Tribal Self Governance Program Planning and Negotiation Cooperative Agreement). The estimated total funding amount for the announcement is $240,000, with an expected eight awards. Each award is set at a fixed amount of $30,000, reflected by both the award ceiling and award floor being $30,000. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds to receive an award.
Eligible applicants are Native American tribal governments that are federally recognized, consistent with the definition in 25 U.S.C. 450b(e). The announcement also includes a specific limitation for Alaska entities: Alaska Native Villages or Alaska Native Village Corporations are not eligible if they are located within an area already served by an Alaska Native regional health entity that participates in the Alaska Tribal Health Compact. However, the notice indicates that Tribes not represented by a self-governance Tribal consortium funding agreement in their area may still be considered for participation in TSGP, which signals some flexibility depending on how health services are organized regionally and whether a Tribe is already covered through an existing compacting structure.
Key dates in the posted opportunity include a posted date and creation date of May 22, 2009, with an original and current closing date of June 22, 2009, and an archive date of June 23, 2009. For assistance accessing the full announcement or for grants policy questions, the listed contact is Michelle Bulls, Director, Grants Policy, at 301-443-6528 or michelle.bulls@ihs.gov.
