Opportunity Summary:
The Tribal Self Governance Program Planning Cooperative Agreement is a discretionary Indian Health Service (IHS) funding opportunity intended to help eligible Tribes plan for participation in the Tribal Self Governance Program (TSGP). 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 program supports Tribal self-determination by giving Tribes the ability to take on greater control over IHS programs and services through negotiated self-governance compacts. Rather than funding direct service expansion on its own, this planning award is meant to help a Tribe do the groundwork needed to make an informed decision about compacting and to prepare for that process in a structured, realistic way.
The core purpose of the planning cooperative agreement is to provide resources for a Tribe to collect and analyze information about the existing Programs, Services, Functions, and Activities (PSFAs) that are currently carried out and funded through IHS at different organizational levels. This includes identifying what is available at the local Service Unit level, as well as what is managed at the Area and IHS Headquarters levels, and understanding the funding associated with those PSFAs. With that information in hand, a Tribe can evaluate what it would mean to assume responsibility for those functions under a self-governance compact, what opportunities exist to redesign or improve how care is delivered, and what changes could better align the healthcare delivery system with community priorities and needs.
Eligibility is intentionally limited because the authorizing law restricts who can apply, which means competition is not fully open to all entities. Applicants must be federally recognized Tribes as defined under Title V. The announcement also highlights a specific Alaska-related restriction: 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 is participating in compact status, as referenced in 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, reinforcing that eligibility depends on the Tribe s status and how self-governance compacting is already organized regionally.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement (not a standard grant), which typically signals that IHS expects to have substantial involvement during the project period, such as coordination, technical input, or shared planning oversight as the Tribe develops its self-governance planning products. The opportunity is listed under CFDA 93.210, titled Tribal Self Governance Program IHS Compacts/Funding Agreements, and is categorized under the health funding activity area.
In terms of funding scale and timing, the announcement anticipated up to 12 awards, with an award ceiling of 50,000 dollars and no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted on July 17, 2008, with an application closing date of August 15, 2008, and an archive date of September 14, 2008. The sponsoring agency is the Indian Health Service. For applicants needing access to the full announcement or additional assistance, the listed contact was John Hoffman at John.Hoffman@ihs.gov, and the notice pointed to the IHS grants website for full details.
