Opportunity Summary:
The Urban Indian Health Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2011 IHS UIHP 0001) is a discretionary grant issued by the Indian Health Service (IHS) under HHS. Its core purpose is to support health services for American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) people living in urban areas by continuing funding for established Urban Indian Health Programs (UIHPs). IHS planned to make 34 awards, reflecting an intent to fund existing, contracted urban Indian organizations rather than expand the program to new entrants. The opportunity is aligned with the broader federal goal of improving AI/AN health outcomes and is framed around major federal and agency planning frameworks, including the HHS Strategic Plan (FY 2007-2012), Healthy People 2020, and the IHS Strategic Plan (2006-2011), emphasizing measurable progress and accountability.
Funding is focused on maintaining and strengthening four specific service areas that are intended to make care more accessible and effective for AI/AN populations in urban settings. These include (1) Health Promotion and Disease Prevention services, (2) Immunizations, and Behavioral Health services divided into (3) Alcohol and Substance Abuse services and (4) Mental Health Prevention and Treatment services. The announcement positions these services as integral to IHS efforts to improve patient care, particularly around the strategic themes of safety, quality, affordability, and access. In addition to direct service delivery, the grant also emphasizes performance and coordination expectations, including meeting Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) reporting objectives and engaging in collaborative activities with the Veterans Health Administration (VA), reflecting a priority on data-driven outcomes and cross-system partnerships that can benefit AI/AN veterans and other community members.
Eligibility is tightly restricted by statute. Competition is limited to urban Indian organizations that already have Title V contracts under the Indian Health Care Improvement Act (IHCIA), meaning only currently contracted entities can apply for these Title V grant funds. The notice cites the governing legal authorities at 25 U.S.C. 1653(c) and (e), and 1660a, and it relies on the statutory definition of an urban Indian organization at 25 U.S.C. 1603(29). Under that definition, an eligible organization must be a nonprofit corporate body located in an urban center, governed by an urban Indian-controlled board of directors, structured to ensure maximum participation by interested Indian groups and individuals, and capable of legally cooperating with public and private partners to carry out authorized activities. Applicants must document their nonprofit status as part of the application package, including providing a copy of their 501(c)(3) certificate.
In terms of funding scale, the estimated total funding amount for the opportunity was $8,000,000. Individual awards were expected to fall between an award floor of $135,289 and an award ceiling of $612,893. The program is listed under CFDA 93.193 (Urban Indian Health Services). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces barriers for eligible nonprofits that may have limited unrestricted funds. The opportunity was posted on February 24, 2011, with an original closing date of March 23, 2011, later reflected as a current closing date of March 24, 2011, and an archive date of April 23, 2011. Assistance with accessing the full announcement was offered through the IHS grants contacts, including the Grant Systems Coordinator listed in the notice.
Overall, this grant opportunity is best understood as a continuation and performance-focused funding mechanism for a defined network of existing Urban Indian organizations already operating under IHS Title V contracts. It aims to sustain essential preventive, immunization, and behavioral health services for AI/AN people in urban communities while reinforcing federal priorities around strategic alignment, measurable outcomes (including GPRA reporting), and coordination with other federal health systems such as the VA.
