Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2024 IHS TMD 0001
The Tribal Management Grant (TMG) Program is an Indian Health Service (IHS) discretionary grant opportunity designed to strengthen the management and administrative foundation that Tribes and Tribal Organizations need to run health programs effectively. Its central goal is to build or improve health management infrastructure so Tribal entities can take on, operate, or expand responsibility for IHS programs, functions, services, and activities (PFSAs) through Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (ISDEAA) agreements. In practice, this means helping organizations prepare for or improve their capacity under Title I ISDEAA contracts and supporting established Title I contractors and Title V compactors as they refine and professionalize their management systems over time.
The program also specifically authorizes grant-supported work under 25 U.S.C. 5322(e) in two broad areas. First, applicants can use funds to obtain technical assistance from providers they choose (including support from Tribal entities that already operate mature contracts). This technical assistance can focus on program planning and evaluation, building the internal management systems needed for successful contract administration, and developing cost allocation plans that support accurate indirect cost rate development. Second, funds can support planning, designing, monitoring, and evaluating Federal programs that serve Tribes and Tribal Organizations, including related Federal administrative functions. Taken together, these allowable uses emphasize practical, nuts-and-bolts capacity building: improving governance and operational systems, strengthening financial and administrative readiness, and creating structures that make Tribal operation of health programs more sustainable.
Eligibility is limited to applicants that meet the definitions in the Indian Health Care Improvement Act (IHCIA), 25 U.S.C. 1603. Eligible applicants include federally recognized Indian Tribes (as defined at 25 U.S.C. 1603(14)) and Tribal Organizations (as defined at 25 U.S.C. 1603(26), referencing the ISDEAA definition at 25 U.S.C. 5304). For Tribal Organizations serving more than one Tribe, each affected Tribe must approve the arrangement, and the application must include Tribal Resolutions from the Tribes to be served. The opportunity also notes a key restriction: Tribes that are prohibited from contracting under ISDEAA are not eligible for the TMG program, with the prohibition tied to provisions in multiple Consolidated Appropriations Acts (2014, 2018, 2021, and 2023) as cited in the notice. Additionally, where the funding track is identified as "New Applicants Only," an applicant cannot already be a current recipient of a TMG award under this same program.
From the competition details provided, the grant is administered by the Indian Health Service under Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2024-IHS-TMD-0001 and is categorized as a health-related grant (CFDA/Assistance Listing 93.228). The application closing date listed is March 14, 2024. The award ceiling is $150,000, and IHS anticipates making about 15 awards. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as targeted capacity funding: it is not primarily about direct clinical service delivery, but about building the operational, financial, evaluative, and administrative systems that allow Tribal health programs to assume IHS responsibilities and manage them effectively under self-determination and self-governance frameworks.Apply for HHS 2024 IHS TMD 0001
