Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2025 IHS TMD 0001
The Tribal Management Grant Program is a discretionary grant opportunity from the Indian Health Service (IHS) designed to strengthen how tribes and tribal organizations manage and oversee health programs. At its core, the program is meant to build and improve the management infrastructure that supports tribal health services, especially for entities that want to take on, expand, or refine responsibility for programs that have historically been administered by IHS. The opportunity supports both tribes that are preparing to assume IHS programs through Title I contracting under the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (ISDEAA), and tribes or tribal organizations that already operate under Title I contracts or Title V compacts and want to deepen their management capacity.
Funding is intended to help Tribal and Tribal Organizations (T/TOs) obtain technical assistance and expertise from providers they choose, including other tribal entities with mature contracting experience. The grant can be used for practical, nuts-and-bolts work tied to program planning and evaluation and the internal systems needed to successfully manage federal health programs. Examples of supported activities include developing or improving management systems necessary for contract administration, creating cost allocation plans that support indirect cost rate development, and strengthening the ability to plan, design, monitor, and evaluate federal programs serving tribes. The scope also includes support for federal administrative functions connected to these programs, focusing on improving governance and operational readiness rather than direct clinical service delivery.
Eligible applicants include federally recognized Native American tribal governments and Native American tribal organizations (including those other than federally recognized tribal governments). Eligibility is grounded in statutory definitions: an "Indian Tribe" is defined under 25 U.S.C. 1603(14) and includes tribes, bands, nations, organized communities, and Alaska Native villages or corporations recognized as eligible for federal programs and services based on their status. A "Tribal organization" is defined under 25 U.S.C. 1603(26) and 25 U.S.C. 5304(l) as a recognized tribal governing body or a legally established Indian organization that is controlled, sanctioned, chartered, or democratically elected by the community it serves, with broad Indian participation. If an organization proposes to provide services benefiting more than one tribe, each benefiting tribe must approve the arrangement.
Key administrative details from the notice include the funding opportunity number HHS 2025 IHS TMD 0001 and CFDA 93.228, with awards structured as grants under the health funding activity category.
