Opportunity Summary:
The Tribal Self Governance Program (TSGP) Negotiation Cooperative Agreement is an Indian Health Service (IHS) funding opportunity intended to help federally recognized Tribes pay for the practical costs of preparing for and carrying out negotiations to enter the TSGP under Title V of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (Public Law 93-638), as amended by the Tribal Self-Governance Amendments of 2000 (Public Law 106-260). The larger goal is to strengthen Tribal self-determination by supporting Tribes that want to take on greater control of IHS programs and services through self-governance compacts and related Funding Agreements (FAs). Because Title V limits who may participate, this announcement is described as having limited competition, with eligibility restricted to Tribes meeting specific statutory criteria.
Funding is provided through cooperative agreements (a form of discretionary federal assistance that typically involves a more hands-on federal role than a standard grant). The money is specifically aimed at negotiation readiness and negotiation work, rather than service delivery. Supported activities include identifying which programs, services, functions, and activities (PSFAs) the Tribe wants to include in negotiations; determining the Tribal shares that would be included in the Funding Agreement; and developing the terms and conditions that will appear in the FA. In plain terms, the award is meant to help Tribes do the analysis, coordination, and documentation needed to negotiate effectively with IHS and to assemble the compact and funding agreement package.
Key program details reflect a small, targeted funding pool. The opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2008-IHS-TSGP-0001) anticipated up to 12 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $240,000. The award amount is fixed in this announcement at $20,000 per award (both the floor and ceiling are $20,000). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The program is listed under CFDA 93.210 (Tribal Self Governance Program IHS Compacts/Funding Agreements), and the activity category is health.
Eligibility is limited to federally recognized Tribal governments, as defined in Title V. The announcement also notes a specific statutory restriction affecting Alaska Native entities: Alaska Native Villages or Alaska Native Village Corporations are not eligible if they are located within an area served by an Alaska Native regional health entity that is already participating in ISDA compacting (25 U.S.C. 458aaa-2(e)). At the same time, the notice indicates that Tribes not represented by a self-governance Tribal consortium compact within their area may still be considered for participation in the TSGP, depending on the circumstances laid out in the full announcement. Another important point is that receiving this Negotiation Cooperative Agreement is not a prerequisite for entering the TSGP. Tribes can negotiate without this specific funding, and Tribes that previously completed comparable health planning work using their own resources, but have not received a Tribal self-governance planning award, are also eligible to apply.
Timing information in the posted notice shows it was posted April 4, 2008, with an application closing date of April 28, 2008, and an archive date of May 28, 2008, meaning it is an older, time-limited announcement rather than an open-ended program posting. For applicants who needed the full text or had trouble accessing it, the notice provided an IHS link for details and a point of contact: Tammy Bagley at Tammy.Bagley@ihs.gov.
