The Indian Health Service (IHS) is offering the Tribal Self-Governance Planning Cooperative Agreement Program, aimed at supporting non-federally recognized Native American Tribal Organizations interested in entering or expanding their participation in the Tribal Self-Governance Program. Eligible applicants must demonstrate financial stability, obtain support from participating Tribes, and have not previously completed the required planning phase for participation, which is essential for negotiating authority over health programs with the IHS. This initiative is crucial for empowering Tribes to manage their healthcare services effectively, allowing for tailored solutions to meet community needs. The program has a total funding amount of $540,000, with individual awards of up to $180,000 available for a maximum of three recipients, and applications are due by August 1, 2025. For further details, interested parties can contact the Division of Grants Management at DGM@ihs.gov or visit the IHS funding page at https://www.ihs.gov/dgm/funding/.
