Opportunity Summary:
The Urban Indian Education and Research Organization Cooperative Agreement Program is a discretionary funding opportunity offered by the Indian Health Service (IHS) to strengthen health services for American Indian and Alaska Native people living in urban areas. It is managed through the Office of Urban Indian Health Programs (OUIHP), which is responsible for carrying out key parts of the Indian Health Care Improvement Act (IHCIA) aimed at improving access to health care for urban Indians. Through this program, IHS seeks to fund one national urban Indian organization to serve as an education and research partner that supports OUIHP and the network of urban Indian organizations that already receive IHCIA-related funding for direct services.
The core purpose of the cooperative agreement is not to replace local service delivery, but to provide nationwide education and research capacity that can help urban Indian health programs improve what they do and document what works. In practical terms, the funded organization is expected to collaborate closely with OUIHP and urban Indian health organizations by helping develop, coordinate, and share training, technical assistance, and research or evaluation activities that strengthen urban Indian health systems. Because this is a cooperative agreement (not a standard grant), substantial involvement by IHS is implied, meaning the recipient will work in an ongoing partnership with the agency rather than operating completely independently.
The opportunity sits within a larger IHS framework that supports urban Indian health care and referral services authorized under the IHCIA. The announcement highlights the types of services urban Indian organizations commonly provide under these authorities, including alcohol and substance abuse prevention, treatment, rehabilitation, and education; mental health assessments and related services; health promotion and disease prevention; and immunization services. It also notes that IHS may support urban Indian organizations in employing AI/AN Community Health Representatives who are trained to provide health care services, reinforcing the emphasis on community-based and culturally grounded outreach in urban settings.
Funding for this competition was expected to result in a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $800,000. The award ceiling was $800,000 and the award floor was $500,000, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The program is associated with CFDA number 93.193 (Urban Indian Health Services). The funding instrument is explicitly identified as a cooperative agreement, and the activity category is health.
Eligibility is narrowly defined and intended to ensure the award goes to an urban Indian organization with credible national governance and representation. Applicants must be nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education) and must meet the statutory definition of an urban Indian organization under 25 U.S.C. 1603(29). Governance requirements are central: the organization must have a Board of Directors that is at least 51 percent urban Indian, and it must be able to show that the board is governed primarily by urban Indian organizations from diverse locations. The application must include proof of nonprofit status and detailed board information, including a listing of board members with their urban Indian status, professional backgrounds, educational degrees, and board appointment terms.
Key administrative details from the posting include the funding opportunity number HHS 2013 IHS OUIHP 0001 and the posting date of July 10, 2013.
