Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2020 IHS TDM 0001
The Tribal Management Grant Program is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Indian Health Service (IHS). Its central aim is to strengthen Tribal and Tribal Organization capacity to manage and administer health programs by building up the management and operational infrastructure needed to take on responsibilities that are currently carried out by IHS. In practical terms, the program supports Tribes and Tribal Organizations (T/TOs) that want to assume all or part of existing IHS programs, functions, services, and activities (PFSAs) through a Title I Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (ISDEAA) contract. It also supports organizations that already operate under Title I contracts or Title V compacts and want to further improve their internal management systems, oversight, and organizational readiness.
A key feature of this opportunity is that it is not just about funding direct health services; it is specifically focused on the behind-the-scenes management capability that makes self-determination work over the long term. Funding can be used to develop or improve management systems necessary for contract administration, program planning, and evaluation. The statutory authority cited (25 U.S.C. 5322(e)) also makes clear that the grants may support Tribes and Tribal Organizations in obtaining technical assistance from providers they choose, including from other T/TOs that operate mature self-determination contracts. This technical assistance can be used for concrete capacity-building activities such as strengthening financial and administrative systems, improving program evaluation approaches, and creating cost allocation plans that support the development of indirect cost rates.
Beyond internal infrastructure, the program also supports planning, designing, monitoring, and evaluating federal programs that serve Tribal communities, including the federal administrative functions tied to those programs. This makes the grant relevant both for organizations preparing to take over IHS-related PFSAs and for those seeking to improve how they oversee and assess the programs already serving their communities. Overall, the intent is to ensure that Tribes and Tribal Organizations have the management tools, governance supports, and administrative systems needed to successfully operate health programs with accountability and long-term sustainability.
For the specific opportunity information provided, the funding opportunity title is Tribal Management Grant Program, with funding opportunity number HHS-2020-IHS-TDM-0001. The assistance listing is CFDA 93.228, and the activity area is health. The eligible applicants include federally recognized Native American tribal governments, Native American tribal organizations (including those other than federally recognized tribal governments), and additional entities as allowed under the program guidance (noted in the source as "Others," with details typically clarified in the full eligibility section of the announcement). The opportunity was created on June 23, 2020, with an original application closing date of August 24, 2020.
In terms of award size and scale, the award ceiling listed is $150,000, and IHS anticipated making about 16 awards under this announcement. Taken together, that suggests a competitive grant program designed to fund targeted management and infrastructure projects that can be planned and executed within a defined budget, with the broader goal of supporting Tribal self-determination in health program administration and strengthening the operational foundations needed to manage federal health resources effectively.Apply for HHS 2020 IHS TDM 0001
