Opportunity Summary:
The Tribal Self Governance Program Negotiation Cooperative Agreement is an Indian Health Service (IHS) funding opportunity meant to help eligible federally recognized Tribes pay for the practical costs of getting ready for, and conducting, negotiations to enter the Tribal Self Governance Program (TSGP). The TSGP is authorized 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 support Tribal self-determination by enabling Tribes to assume greater control over IHS programs and services through negotiated compacts and the related Funding Agreements (FAs).
This announcement is described as having limited competition because eligibility is restricted by the authorizing law. In general, applicants must be federally recognized Tribes as defined in Title V. The notice also highlights a specific restriction for Alaska: Alaska Native Villages or Alaska Native Village Corporations are not eligible if they are located within the area served by an Alaska Native regional health entity that is already participating in ISDA compacting. At the same time, the announcement notes that Tribes that are not represented by a self-governance Tribal consortium compact in their area may still be considered for participation in the TSGP, depending on the circumstances described in the full guidance.
The funding is provided as a cooperative agreement (not a formula entitlement), and it is intended to cover negotiation-related activities tied directly to developing a compact and Funding Agreement with IHS. The announcement lists core examples of supported activities: identifying which programs, services, functions, and activities (PSFAs) the Tribe wants to include in negotiations; determining and documenting the Tribal shares that would be included in the Funding Agreement; and developing the terms and conditions that will appear in the Funding Agreement. In plain terms, the grant is meant to pay for the work of figuring out what the Tribe will take on, how the funding pieces add up, and what the agreement language needs to say so that both the Tribe and IHS can finalize a workable compact and FA.
A key point in the notice is that receiving this Negotiation Cooperative Agreement is not a requirement for entering the Tribal Self Governance Program. Tribes can pursue TSGP participation without this award. The opportunity is also open to Tribes that have already done similar health planning work using their own Tribal resources in past years, as long as they have not previously received a Tribal self-governance planning award, which signals that IHS is willing to support Tribes that have already laid groundwork but still need resources specifically for negotiations and agreement development.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is listed under CFDA 93.210 (Tribal Self Governance Program: IHS Compacts/Funding Agreements) and falls under the health activity category. IHS expected to make 12 awards, with total estimated funding of $240,000. The award amount is fixed in this announcement: both the ceiling and the floor are $20,000 per award, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The posting date is April 23, 2008, with an original and current closing date of April 28, 2008, and an archive date of May 28, 2008, indicating this was a short-open solicitation for that funding cycle.
