Opportunity Summary:
The Urban Indian Education and Research Organization Grant Program is a discretionary funding opportunity from the Indian Health Service (IHS), issued under the authority of Title V of the Indian Health Care Improvement Act (as amended; 25 U.S.C. 1652, 1654, and 1655) and Section 301(a) of the Public Health Service Act. The program is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement with the recipient during the project period rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The overall focus is health, and the funding is tied specifically to supporting Urban Indian health services.
The core purpose of the grant is to fund a single urban Indian organization to serve as an education and research partner for IHS-funded Urban Indian health programs. In practical terms, this partner role is meant to strengthen the broader network of Urban Indian health programs by building shared education capacity and supporting research activities that can inform program improvement, service delivery, and outcomes for American Indian and Alaska Native people living in urban areas. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 93.193 (Urban Indian Health Services), signaling that it sits within the federal assistance framework dedicated to Urban Indian health.
Funding details indicate IHS anticipated making one award (ExpectedAwards: 1), with an award ceiling of $995,000 and no stated minimum award amount (AwardFloor: $0). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces the financial burden on the applicant and can make participation more feasible for eligible organizations. Because only one award was expected, the competition would likely be highly selective, with an emphasis on an applicant that can credibly act as a national or multi-site partner across diverse Urban Indian health program locations.
Eligibility is limited to an "urban Indian organization" as defined in 25 U.S.C. 1603(h). The applicant must have a Board of Directors that is at least 51 percent American Indian or Alaska Native. In addition, the organization must be able to demonstrate that its Board is governed primarily by Urban Indian health programs from diverse locations, reinforcing the intent that the funded entity represents and is accountable to a broad cross-section of Urban Indian health programs rather than a single local interest. Only one application per organization is allowed. Applicants must provide documentation proving nonprofit status and submit a listing of Board members along with their tribal affiliations as part of eligibility verification.
Key administrative details from the announcement include a posted date of July 16, 2008, a creation date of July 29, 2008, and an application closing date of August 18, 2008. The opportunity was later archived on September 17, 2008. The official funding opportunity number is HHS 2008 IHS UIHP 0003, and the title is Urban Indian Education and Research Organization Grant Program. For applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Pallop Chareonvootitam (pchareon@hqe.ihs.gov). The announcement also referenced an IHS webpage for additional information: http://www.ihs.gov/NonMedicalPrograms/gogp/index.cfm (as provided in the source text).
