Opportunity Summary:
The Urban Indian Health Programs grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2008-IHS-UIHP-0001) is a discretionary grant solicitation from the Indian Health Service (IHS), specifically its Office of Urban Indian Health Programs (OUIHP). Its purpose is to improve access to health care for American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN) living in urban areas by supporting Urban Indian organizations that deliver key preventive and behavioral health services. The program is grounded in federal authorities including the Snyder Act, 25 U.S.C. 1652 and 1653, and Title V of the Indian Health Care Improvement Act (Public Law 94-437, as amended), and it is cataloged under CFDA 93.193 (Urban Indian Health Services). The overall aim is aligned with IHS goals of achieving the highest possible health status for AI/AN people, with an emphasis on improving the safety, quality, affordability, and accessibility of care as part of IHS chronic care and broader strategic priorities.
This is a targeted solicitation rather than an open competition for all entities. IHS indicates it intends to make awards to a set group of Urban Indian organizations that already hold existing IHS contracts awarded under 25 U.S.C. 1653(c), (d), (e), and (f). In practice, that means eligibility is limited to Urban Indian organizations as defined by 25 U.S.C. 1603(h), and the funding is structured to continue and strengthen ongoing service delivery rather than launch entirely new programs from scratch. The grant supports continued implementation of Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) priorities, Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) reporting requirements, and collaborative activities with the Veterans Health Administration (VA), signaling that awardees are expected to track outcomes, report performance measures, and coordinate with other federal health systems serving AI/AN veterans.
Programmatically, the funding centers on a "4-in-1" Title V model that bundles four specific service areas intended to make care more accessible and responsive in urban settings. These are: (1) Health Promotion and Disease Prevention services, which typically cover education, screening, risk reduction, and chronic disease prevention activities; (2) Immunizations, supporting vaccine access and delivery; and two components under Behavioral Health Services, namely (3) Alcohol and Substance Abuse services and (4) Mental Health Prevention and Treatment services. By combining prevention, immunization, and behavioral health, the opportunity reflects an integrated approach to community health that matches common needs in urban AI/AN populations and supports continuity of care.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $8,500,000, with an award ceiling also shown as $8,500,000 and an award floor of $0. The expected number of awards is listed around the low-to-mid 30s (the narrative references 34 organizations, while the data field lists 33 expected awards), reinforcing that this was designed for a specific cohort of existing Urban Indian contractors. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces the burden on applicants and helps ensure that organizations are not required to raise non-federal funds to participate. Key dates show the opportunity was posted May 1, 2008, with a closing date of May 21, 2008, and an archive date of June 20, 2008, meaning this particular notice is historical, though it provides a clear picture of how IHS structured Title V "4-in-1" support at the time.
