The Indian Health Service is offering a federal grant opportunity titled "Increasing the Representation of American Indians and Alaska Natives in Sanitation and Engineering Management". This grant aims to increase the representation of American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) individuals in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields by raising awareness of lesser-known STEM applied public health occupational and student opportunities, as well as the benefits they offer.

The grant focuses on the sanitation and engineering fields, which are often overlooked as applied public health STEM fields, despite their crucial role in providing and maintaining sanitary facilities and environments for homes and healthcare facilities. The primary STEM occupational opportunities within this program include civil and environmental (sanitation) engineering, general (health facility) engineering, and environmental health (sanitarian) professions.

The American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES) has been identified as the sole source for this cooperative agreement. AISES is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit public charity and a leader in STEM opportunities in Indian Country. It has a membership base and Board of Directors that is 100 percent American Indian, with over 7,000 individual student and professional members, 248 pre-college chapters, 199 college chapters, 20 professional chapters, and 3 Tribal chapters.

The grant has an award ceiling and floor of $30,000, with an estimated total program funding of $30,000. It is expected that one award will be granted. The opportunity falls under the category of funding activity for Employment, Labor, and Training. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement for this cooperative agreement.

The closing date for this grant opportunity is July 10, 2024, and the archive date is August 9, 2024. For more information or to contact the grantor, please reach out to the Division of Grants Management at the Indian Health Service, either by phone at 301-443-5204 or via email at DGM@ihs.gov.
