The Indian Health Service (IHS) is offering the Tribal Self-Governance Grant Program for planning. This program is designed to provide resources to Tribes interested in participating in the Tribal Self-Governance Program (TSGP). Authorized by Public Law 106-260, the grant promotes Self-Determination by enabling Tribes to assume control of IHS programs, services, functions, and activities (PSFAs) through negotiated compacts. The Planning Cooperative Agreement specifically allows eligible Tribes to gather essential information on current PSFAs and related funding available at various levels within the IHS structure. This initiative empowers Tribes to better understand and prepare for managing their own health services, aligning with the broader goal of tribal self-governance.

| Description: | The purpose of the Planning Cooperative Agreement is to provide resources to Tribes interested in participating in the Tribal Self-Governance Program (TSGP), as authorized by Public Law (Pub. L.) 106-260, the Tribal Self-Governance Amendments of 2000, Title V of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act, Pub. L. 93-638, as amended (Title V) (25 U.S.C. ยง 458aaa-2(e)). There is limited competition under this announcement because the authorizing legislation restricts eligibility to Tribes that meet specific criteria (Refer to Section III.1.A., ELIGIBLE APPLICANTS in this announcement). The TSGP is designed to promote Self-Determination by enabling Tribes to assume control of Indian Health Service (IHS) programs, services, functions, and activities, or portions thereof (PSFAs), through compacts negotiated with the IHS. The Planning Cooperative Agreement enables a Tribe to gather information on the current types of PSFAs and related funding available at the Service Unit, Area, and Headquarters levels. This program is described at 93.444 in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA). |
