Opportunity Summary:
The Urban Indian Health Programs grant opportunity is a discretionary funding announcement from the Indian Health Service (IHS), specifically through the Office of Urban Indian Health Programs (OUIHP). It funds a competitive round of "4 in 1" Title V grants aligned with the Office of HIV/AIDS Policy (OHAP) Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI). The overall purpose is to strengthen HIV-related services in urban American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities by making HIV testing more routine and accessible, increasing awareness of HIV status, reducing stigma around testing and care, and ultimately lowering HIV incidence through earlier detection and prevention-focused support.
At a programmatic level, the grant is designed to expand existing Title V HIV/AIDS activities operated by urban Indian health programs. Funded organizations are expected to increase routine and/or rapid HIV screening capacity and ensure supportive services around testing are available, including prevention education and pre-test and post-test counseling when appropriate. The emphasis is on practical, front-line improvements that lead to more AI/AN individuals knowing their HIV status, which is a key step for both treatment linkage and prevention. The announcement frames the need as both a service-access issue and a community health issue, noting that urban Indian communities benefit when testing is normalized, stigma is reduced, and culturally appropriate prevention and counseling services are easier to reach.
This opportunity is authorized under the Snyder Act (Public Law 67-85) and sections 25 U.S.C. 1652 and 1653 of the Indian Health Care Improvement Act (Public Law 94-437, as amended). It is listed under CFDA 93.193, Urban Indian Health Services. The funding opportunity number is HHS-2009-IHS-UIHP-0002, and the agency name is the Indian Health Service.
Funding levels are modest and standardized: the total estimated funding is $200,000, with an expected 10 awards. Each award is set at $20,000, with both the award ceiling and floor listed as $20,000, indicating a fixed award amount per recipient rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the grant.
Eligibility is limited to urban Indian organizations as defined by 25 U.S.C. 1603(h), and specifically to organizations that meet several readiness and capacity criteria tied to HIV rapid testing and program quality. Applicants must have state certification to conduct HIV rapid testing when such certification is needed, and they must demonstrate that their health professionals and staff have been trained in HIV/AIDS screening tools as well as education, prevention, counseling, and other interventions appropriate for AI/AN populations. In addition, applicants are expected to have developed community and group support programming intended to sustain risk-reduction skills over time, and to have implemented HIV/AIDS quality assurance and quality improvement processes. Proof of nonprofit status must be included with the application. The eligible applicant type is listed as Native American tribal organizations other than federally recognized tribal governments, which aligns with the urban Indian organization focus rather than tribal government applicants.
Key dates indicate this was a time-limited competition. The opportunity was posted and created on May 22, 2009, with an original and current closing date of July 1, 2009. The notice states the due date is final and that no extensions will be granted. The archive date is July 2, 2009, indicating the announcement would be closed and archived immediately after the deadline.
