Opportunity Summary:
The Urban Indian Health 4 in 1 Program (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2013 IHS UIHP 0002; CFDA 93.193) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the Indian Health Service (IHS) designed to strengthen and expand health services for American Indians and Alaska Natives living in an urban setting, specifically the Boston metropolitan area. The program is structured as a single-award, single-source grant, meaning IHS intended to make one award to one pre-identified organization rather than run an open, competitive process among multiple applicants. The stated purpose is to support efforts that help ensure the highest possible health status for urban Indians by improving access to preventive care and key clinical services.
This funding was specifically targeted to Native American Lifelines, Inc., because federal law governing these urban Indian health grants (including authorities cited at 25 U.S.C. 1653(c)(f) and 1660a) limits eligibility to urban Indian organizations that already hold a current IHS contract to deliver health care services to urban Indians within the urban center named in that contract. Native American Lifelines, Inc. is identified as the organization IHS currently contracts with for health care and referral services in the Boston area, and IHS describes the organization as uniquely qualified due to its experience serving the local urban Indian community, its established infrastructure, and its demonstrated capacity to deliver evidence-based services.
The grant is framed around alignment with major federal and agency health priorities and accountability requirements. Funds are intended to support implementation of the HHS Strategic Plan for FY 2010 to 2015, the national Healthy People 2020 objectives, and the IHS Strategic Plan 2006 to 2011. In addition, the award is meant to strengthen performance measurement and reporting through the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) framework and to encourage collaboration with the Veterans Health Administration (VA), reflecting an emphasis on coordinated care and measurable outcomes.
At the center of the opportunity is a bundled package of four service areas, described as the "4 in 1" model, aimed at making services more accessible and responsive to urban Indian needs. The four components are: (1) Health Promotion and Disease Prevention services, which generally focus on education, screening, risk reduction, and wellness activities; (2) Immunizations to increase vaccine access and coverage; (3) Behavioral Health Services focused on alcohol and substance abuse assessment, treatment, and support; and (4) Mental Health Prevention and Treatment services, covering early intervention, counseling, and clinical mental health care. IHS positions these as integral to its broader patient care improvement efforts, with a focus on improving safety, quality, affordability, and accessibility.
IHS also highlights operational strengths that supported the single-source decision. Native American Lifelines, Inc. is described as a state-licensed behavioral health provider with licensed and credentialed staff, and as using evidence-based behavioral health assessment and treatment strategies. The organization reportedly uses targeted outreach and comprehensive case management to engage clients in the community, and has expanded offerings to include on-site dental services and transportation support, both of which can reduce practical barriers that often prevent consistent care. The program is also noted for establishing collaborative agreements with other community health resources to broaden the scope and continuity of services, and for having an active Board of Directors committed to improving health care quality for urban Indians in the Boston area.
Financially, the opportunity listed an estimated total funding amount of $153,126, and both the award ceiling and floor were the same ($153,126), indicating a fixed, predetermined award size rather than a range. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted on August 7, 2013, with an original and current closing date of September 8, 2013, and an archive date of October 8, 2013. The funding instrument type was a grant, the activity category was health, and the expected number of awards was one.
For administrative questions or difficulty accessing the full funding announcement, the contact listed was Paul Gettys, Grant Systems Coordinator, at 301-443-2114 through the Grants Office.
