Opportunity Summary:
The Tribal Self Governance Program Negotiation Cooperative Agreement is an Indian Health Service (IHS) funding opportunity created to help federally recognized Tribes prepare for and carry out negotiations to enter the Tribal Self Governance Program (TSGP). The program exists under the authority of the Tribal Self Governance Amendments of 2000 (Public Law 106-260) and Title V of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (Public Law 93-638, as amended). In practical terms, this cooperative agreement is meant to cover the real costs Tribes face when getting ready to negotiate a self-governance compact and the accompanying Funding Agreement (FA) with IHS, which are the key legal and financial documents that allow a Tribe to assume control over certain IHS health-related programs and functions.
The bigger goal behind the TSGP is to expand Tribal self-governance in health care by enabling Tribes to take on management and operation of IHS programs, services, functions, and activities (often referred to as PSFAs), either in whole or in part. Through negotiated compacts, Tribes can design and administer health programs in ways that better reflect community needs, priorities, and local context, while still operating within the federal framework. This opportunity is tied to CFDA number 93.444, which covers Tribal Self Governance Program planning and negotiation activities.
Funding provided under this cooperative agreement is specifically focused on negotiation preparation and support. The announcement highlights several common activities the funds are intended to support: identifying which PSFAs (or parts of them) the Tribe wants to include in negotiations; determining and documenting the Tribe’s funding shares that would be incorporated into the Funding Agreement; and drafting or refining the terms and conditions that will be included in the final compact and FA. In other words, the award is not primarily described as a service delivery grant; it is a capacity and transaction-focused award meant to help Tribes do the technical, administrative, and planning work needed to negotiate effectively with IHS.
Eligibility is intentionally limited because the authorizing law restricts participation to Tribes that meet specific requirements. Applicants must be federally recognized Tribes as defined in 25 U.S.C. 450b(e). A Tribe must also submit a Tribal resolution or other formal authorizing action from the appropriate governing body approving submission of the application. If the proposed negotiation effort would affect or involve other Tribes, resolutions from all affected Tribes to be served must be included as well. In addition, the applicant must demonstrate financial stability and financial management capability for three fiscal years, defined here as having no uncorrected significant and material audit exceptions in the required annual audits of the Tribe’s self-determination contracts or self-governance funding agreements with any federal agency. This is intended to ensure that Tribes entering self-governance negotiations have a track record of strong grants and contract management.
The award structure in this specific announcement is straightforward and relatively small but consistent: the award floor and ceiling are both listed as $30,000, meaning each expected award is set at $30,000. The total estimated funding amount is $240,000, with an expected 8 awards, matching the $30,000 per award amount. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces barriers for eligible Tribes and keeps the focus on negotiation readiness rather than raising outside funds.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project period compared to a standard grant. The funding activity category is health, and the agency sponsor is the Indian Health Service. The opportunity number is HHS-2010-IHS-TSGN-0001, it was posted on March 10, 2010, and the application closing date was April 16, 2010, with an archive date of May 16, 2010. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Tammy Bagley, Senior Grants Policy Analyst, at 301-443-7172.
Overall, this cooperative agreement is best understood as targeted support for Tribes that are eligible and ready to take the next step toward self-governance in health programs. It helps cover the up-front work of deciding what to assume, clarifying how funding will flow, and shaping the compact and Funding Agreement terms so the Tribe can move into the TSGP with a negotiated structure that is clear, workable, and aligned with Tribal priorities.
