The Indian Health Service (IHS) is offering the Tribal Self-Governance Grant Program to assist eligible Tribes in participating in the Tribal Self-Governance Program (TSGP). This grant provides crucial resources to help Tribes cover expenses associated with preparing for and negotiating self-governance compacts with the IHS. Authorized by Public Law 106-260, Title V of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act, the TSGP is specifically designed to enhance Tribal Self-Determination. It enables qualifying Tribes to assume direct control over Indian Health Service programs, services, functions, and activities (PSFAs) by entering into negotiated compacts. Eligibility for this program is restricted to Tribes that meet specific criteria, ensuring that resources are directed effectively towards those ready to embrace greater self-determination in managing their health services.

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 Negotiation Cooperative Agreement provides a Tribe with funds to help cover the expenses involved in preparing for and negotiating a compact with the IHS. This program is described at 93.444 in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA). |
