Opportunity Summary:
The Tribal Self Governance Program Planning Cooperative Agreement is a discretionary Indian Health Service (IHS) funding opportunity meant to help federally recognized Tribes prepare to participate in the Tribal Self Governance Program (TSGP). The planning award is designed as a capacity-building and information-gathering step that supports Tribes that are considering taking on greater control over IHS programs, services, functions, and activities (PSFAs) through self-governance compacts. The legal authority for the opportunity comes from 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), specifically the provisions related to Tribal self-governance in health programs.
At a practical level, the grant funds planning work rather than direct service expansion. The main purpose is to give a Tribe the resources to identify what IHS PSFAs and associated funding streams currently exist at multiple administrative levels (Service Unit, Area, and Headquarters) and to evaluate what it would take organizationally to administer health programs under a self-governance framework. That includes building a clear understanding of what programs and funds are available, how they are currently managed, and what internal staffing, systems, policies, and governance structures the Tribe would need to successfully assume responsibility for those functions. In other words, the cooperative agreement supports the groundwork for informed decision-making and readiness for compacting with IHS.
Competition is described as limited because eligibility is restricted by statute to Tribes meeting specific criteria. Eligible applicants must be federally recognized Tribes (as defined in 25 U.S.C. 450b(e)), must submit a Tribal resolution or other official action from the appropriate Tribal governing body (or each Tribe to be served) authorizing the application, and must demonstrate financial stability and financial management capability for three fiscal years. Financial stability is specifically tied to audit performance: applicants must have no uncorrected significant and material audit exceptions in the required annual audit of the Tribe's self-determination contracts or self-governance funding agreements with any federal agency. These requirements are aimed at ensuring that participating Tribes are both formally authorized by Tribal leadership and prepared to manage federal health program funds responsibly.
The opportunity is administered by the Indian Health Service under CFDA 93.444, listed as the Tribal Self Governance Program Planning and Negotiation Cooperative Agreement. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically signals that IHS may have substantial involvement during the project period compared with a standard grant, especially given the planning and negotiation-oriented nature of self-governance preparation.
For this specific announcement (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2010-IHS-TSGP-0001), IHS anticipated making about eight awards. Total estimated funding was $600,000, and each award was set as a fixed amount of $75,000 (both the floor and ceiling), with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The announcement was posted March 10, 2010, with an application deadline of April 16, 2010, and an archive date of May 16, 2010. Questions about accessing the full announcement were directed to Tammy Bagley, Senior Grants Policy Analyst, at 301-443-7172, with additional guidance referenced through the Grants Policy website link included in the notice.
