I. Funding Opportunity Description

Statutory Authority

    The Indian Health Service (IHS) is accepting applications for 
grants for the Tribal Management Grant (TMG) Program. This program is 
authorized under 25 U.S.C. 5322(b)(2) and 25 U.S.C. 5322(e) of the 
Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (ISDEAA), Public 
Law (Pub. L.) 93-638, as amended. This program is described in the 
Assistance Listings located at https://beta.sam.gov (formerly known as 
Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) under 93.228.

Background

    The TMG Program is a competitive grant program that is capacity 
building and developmental in nature and has been available for 
federally-recognized Indian Tribes and Tribal Organizations (T/TOs) 
since shortly after enactment of the ISDEAA in 1975. The TMG Program 
was established to assist T/TOs to prepare for assuming all or part of 
existing IHS programs, functions, services, and activities (PFSAs), and 
to further develop and improve Tribal health management capabilities. 
The TMG Program provides competitive grants to T/TOs to: Establish 
goals and performance measures for current health programs; assess 
current management capacity to determine if new components are 
appropriate; analyze programs to determine if a T/TO's management is 
practicable; and develop infrastructure systems to manage or organize 
PFSAs.

Purpose

    The purpose of this IHS grant program is to enhance and develop 
health management infrastructure and assist T/TOs in assuming all or 
part of existing IHS PFSAs through a Title I ISDEAA contract and assist 
established Title I ISDEAA contractors and Title V ISDEAA compactors to 
further develop and improve management capability. In addition, Tribal 
Management Grants are available to T/TOs under the authority of 25 
U.S.C. 5322(e) for the following: (1) Obtaining technical assistance 
from providers designated by the T/TO (including T/TOs that operate 
mature contracts) for the purposes of program planning and evaluation, 
including the development of any management systems necessary for 
contract management, and the development of cost allocation plans for 
indirect cost rates; and (2) planning, designing, monitoring, and 
evaluating Federal programs serving T/TOs, including Federal 
administrative functions.

III. Eligibility Information

1. Eligibility

    ``Indian Tribes'' and ``Tribal Organizations'' (T/TOs), as defined 
by the ISDEAA, are eligible to apply for the TMG Program. The 
definitions for each entity type are outlined below. Only one 
application per T/TO is allowed.
     A federally-recognized Indian Tribe as defined by 25 
U.S.C. 5304(e). The term ``Indian Tribe'' means any Indian Tribe, band, 
nation, or other organized group or community, including any Alaska 
Native village or group or regional or village corporation as defined 
in or established pursuant to the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act 
(85 Stat. 688) [43 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.], which is recognized as 
eligible for the special programs and services provided by the United 
States to Indians because of their status as Indians.
     A Tribal organization as defined by 25 U.S.C. 5304(l). The 
term ``Tribal organization'' means the recognized governing body of any 
Indian Tribe; any legally established organization of Indians which is 
controlled, sanctioned, or chartered by such governing body or which is 
democratically elected by the adult members of the Indian community to 
be served by such organization and which includes the maximum 
participation of Indians in all phases of its activities: Provided 
that, in any case where a contract is let or grant made to an 
organization to perform services benefiting more than one Indian Tribe, 
the approval of each such Indian Tribe shall be a prerequisite to the 
letting or making of such contract or grant.
     Tribes prohibited under the Alaska Moratorium from 
receiving funds pursuant to the ISDEAA are not eligible for TMG. See 
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2014, Public Law 113-76, as amended by 
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2018, Public Law 115-141, and 
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020, Public Law 116-94.

    Note: Please refer to Section IV.2 (Application and Submission 
Information/Subsection 2, Content and Form of Application 
Submission) for additional proof of applicant status documents 
required, such as Tribal resolutions, proof of non-profit status, 
etc.

    Eligible TMG Project Types, Maximum Funding Levels, and Project 
Periods: The TMG Program consists of four project types: (1) 
Feasibility study; (2) planning; (3) evaluation study; and (4) health 
management structure. Applicants may submit applications for one 
project type only. An application must state the project type selected. 
Any application that addresses more than one project type will be 
considered ineligible and will not be reviewed. The maximum funding 
levels noted must include both direct and indirect costs. Application 
budgets may not exceed the maximum funding level or period of 
performance identified for a project type. Any application with a 
budget or period of performance that exceeds the maximum funding level 
or period of performance will be considered

[[Page 37677]]

ineligible and will not be reviewed. Please refer to Section IV.5, 
``Funding Restrictions,'' for further information regarding ineligible 
project activities.
1. FEASIBILITY STUDY (Maximum Funding/Project Period: $70,000/12 
Months)
    A feasibility study must include a study of a specific IHS program 
or segment of a program to determine if Tribal management of the 
program is possible. The study shall present the planned approach, 
training, and resources required to assume Tribal management of the 
program. The study must include the following four components:
     Health needs and health care service assessments that 
identify existing health care services and delivery systems, program 
divisibility issues, health status indicators, unmet needs, volume 
projections, and demand analysis.
     Management analysis of existing management structures, 
proposed management structures, implementation plans and requirements, 
and personnel staffing requirements and recruitment barriers.
     Financial analysis of historical trends data, financial 
projections, and new resource requirements for program management costs 
and analysis of potential revenues from Federal/non-Federal sources.
     Decision statement/report that incorporates findings; 
conclusions; and recommendations; the presentation of the study and 
recommendations to the Tribal governing body for determination 
regarding whether Tribal program assumption is desirable or warranted.
2. PLANNING (Maximum Funding/Project Period: $50,000/12 Months)
    Planning projects involve data collection to establish goals and 
performance measures for health programs operation or anticipated PFSAs 
under a Title I contract. Planning projects will specify the design of 
health programs and the management systems (including appropriate 
policies and procedures) to accomplish the health priorities of the T/
TO. For example, planning projects could include the development of a 
Tribe-specific health plan or a strategic health plan, etc. Please note 
that updated Healthy People information and Healthy People 2020 
objectives are available in electronic format at the following website: 
https://www.healthypeople.gov/2020/topics-objectives. The United States 
(U.S.) Public Health Service (PHS) encourages applicants submitting 
strategic health plans to address specific objectives of Healthy People 
2020.
3. EVALUATION STUDY (Maximum Funding/Project Period: $50,000/12 Months)
    An evaluation study must include a systematic collection, analysis, 
and interpretation of data for the purpose of determining the value of 
a program. Include a logic model for designing and managing the project 
as an attachment. A logic model is a one-page diagram that presents the 
conceptual framework for a proposed project and explains the links 
among program elements to achieve the relevant outcomes. The extent of 
the evaluation study logic model could summarize the connections 
between the goals of the project (e.g., objectives, reasons for 
proposing the program); assumptions (e.g., beliefs about how the 
program will work and support resources. Base assumptions on best 
practices, and experience); inputs (e.g., organizational profile, 
collaborative partners, key staff, budget, other resources); target 
population (e.g., the individuals to be served); activities (e.g., 
approach, listing key activities); outputs (i.e., the direct products 
or deliverables of program activities); and outcomes (i.e., the results 
of a program, typically describing a change in people or systems). The 
evaluation study could also be used to determine the effectiveness and 
efficiency of a T/TO's program operations (i.e., direct services, 
financial management, personnel, data collection and analysis, third-
party billing, etc.), as well as to determine the appropriateness of 
new components of a T/TO's program operations that will assist efforts 
to improve Tribal health care delivery systems.
4. HEALTH MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE (Average Funding/Project Period: 
$100,000/12 Months; Maximum Funding/Project Period: $300,000/36 Months)
    The first year maximum funding level is limited to $150,000 for 
multi-year projects. The Health Management Structure component allows 
for implementation of systems to manage or organize PFSAs. Management 
structures include health department organizations, health boards, and 
financial management systems, including systems for accounting, 
personnel, third-party billing, medical records, management information 
systems, etc. This includes the design, improvement, and correction of 
management systems that address weaknesses identified through quality 
control measures, internal control reviews, and audit report findings 
under required financial audits and ISDEAA requirements.
    For the minimum standards for the management systems used by a T/TO 
when carrying out Self-Determination contracts, please see 25 CFR part 
900, Contracts Under the Indian Self-Determination and Education 
Assistance Act, subpart F--``Standards for Tribal or Tribal 
Organization Management Systems,'' Sec. Sec.  900.35-900.60. For 
operational provisions applicable to carrying out Self-Governance 
compacts, please see 42 CFR part 137, Tribal Self-Governance, subpart 
I,--``Operational Provisions,'' Sec. Sec.  137.160-137.220.

2. Cost Sharing or Matching

    The IHS does not require matching funds or cost sharing for grants 
or cooperative agreements.

3. Other Requirements

    Applications with budget requests that exceed the highest dollar 
amount outlined under Section II Award Information, Estimated Funds 
Available, or exceed the Period of Performance outlined under Section 
II Award Information, Period of Performance will be considered not 
responsive and will not be reviewed. The Division of Grants Management

     Demonstrate that the Tribe's application does not 
duplicate or overlap any objectives of the consortium's application.
     Identify all consortium member Tribes.
     Identify if any of the consortium member Tribes intend to 
submit a TMG application of their own.
     Demonstrate that the consortium's application does not 
duplicate or overlap any objectives of other consortium members who may 
be submitting their own TMG application.
    Funding Priorities: The IHS has established the following funding 
priorities for TMG awards:
     PRIORITY I--Any Indian Tribe, or Tribal Organization 
representing that Indian Tribe, that has received Federal recognition 
(including restored, funded, or unfunded) within the past 5 years, 
specifically received during or after March 2015, will be considered 
Priority I.
     PRIORITY II--T/TOs submitting a new application or a 
competing continuation application for the sole purpose of addressing 
audit material weaknesses will be considered Priority II.
    Priority II participation is only applicable to the Health 
Management Structure project type. For more information, see ``Eligible 
TMG Project Types, Maximum Funding Levels, and Project Periods,'' in 
Section II.
     PRIORITY III--Eligible Direct Service and T/TOs with a 
Title I ISDEAA contract with the IHS submitting a new application or a 
competing continuation application will be considered Priority III.
     PRIORITY IV--Eligible T/TOs with a Title V ISDEAA compact 
with the IHS submitting a new application or a competing continuation 
application will be considered Priority IV.
    The funding of approved Priority I applicants will occur before the 
funding of approved Priority II applicants. Priority II applicants will 
be funded before approved Priority III applicants. Priority III 
applicants will be funded before approved Priority IV applicants. Funds 
will be distributed until depleted. The following definitions are 
applicable to the PRIORITY II category:
    Audit finding--deficiencies that the auditor is required by 45 CFR 
75.516 to report in the schedule of findings and questioned costs.
    Material weakness--``Statements on Auditing Standards 115'' defines 
material weakness as a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in 
internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a 
material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be 
prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis.
    Significant deficiency--``Statements on Auditing Standards 115,'' 
defines significant deficiency as a deficiency, or a combination of 
deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material 
weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with 
governance.
    The audit findings are identified in Attachment A of the 
transmittal letter received from the HHS/OIG/NEAR. Please identify the 
material weaknesses to be addressed by underlining the item(s) listed 
in Attachment A.
    T/TOs not subject to Single Audit Act requirements must provide a 
financial statement identifying the Federal dollars received in the 
footnotes. The financial statement should also identify specific 
weaknesses/recommendations that will be addressed in the TMG proposal 
and that are related to 25 CFR part 900, subpart F, ``Standards for 
Tribal and Tribal Organization Management Systems.''

    Note:  A decision to award a TMG does not represent a 
determination from the IHS regarding the T/TO's eligibility to 
contract for a specific PFSA under the ISDEAA. An application for a 
TMG does not constitute a contract proposal.

Tribal Resolution
    The DGM must receive an official, signed Tribal resolution 
describing in detail the Tribe's permission to make decisions on behalf 
of the Tribe's best interest concerning the grant prior to issuing a 
Notice of Award (NoA) to any applicant selected for funding. An Indian 
T/TO that is proposing a project affecting another Indian Tribe must 
include resolutions from all affected Tribes to be served. However, if 
an official, signed Tribal resolution cannot be submitted with the 
application prior to the application deadline date, a draft Tribal 
resolution must be submitted with the application by the deadline date 
in order for the application to be considered complete and eligible for 
review. The draft Tribal resolution is not in lieu of the required 
signed resolution, but is acceptable until a signed resolution is 
received. If an official signed Tribal resolution is not received by 
DGM when funding decisions are made, then a NoA will not be issued to 
that applicant and it will not receive IHS funds until it has submitted 
a signed resolution to the Grants Management Specialist listed in this 
funding announcement.
Proof of Non-Profit Status
    Organizations claiming non-profit status must submit a current copy 
of the 501(c)(3) Certificate with the application.

the applicant via email of this decision. Applications submitted under 
waiver must be received by the DGM no later than 5:00 p.m., EDT, on the 
Application Deadline Date. Late applications will not be accepted for 
processing. Applicants that do not register for both the System for 
Award Management (SAM) and Grants.gov and/or fail to request timely 
assistance with technical issues will not be considered for a waiver to 
submit an application via alternative method.
    Please be aware of the following:
     Please search for the application package in http://www.Grants.gov by entering the Assistance Listing (CFDA) number or the 
Funding Opportunity Number. Both numbers are located in the header of 
this announcement.
     If you experience technical challenges while submitting 
your application, please contact Grants.gov Customer Support (see 
contact information at https://www.Grants.gov).
     Upon contacting Grants.gov, obtain a tracking number as 
proof of contact. The tracking number is helpful if there are technical 
issues that cannot be resolved and a waiver from the agency must be 
obtained.
     Applicants are strongly encouraged not to wait until the 
deadline date to begin the application process through Grants.gov as 
the registration process for SAM and Grants.gov could take up to 20 
working days.
     Please follow the instructions on Grants.gov to include 
additional documentation that may be requested by this funding 
announcement.
     Applicants must comply with any page limits described in 
this funding announcement.
     After submitting the application, the applicant will 
receive an automatic acknowledgment from Grants.gov that contains a 
Grants.gov tracking number. The IHS will not notify the applicant that 
the application has been received.
    Dun and Bradstreet (D&B) Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) 
Applicants and grantee organizations are required to obtain a DUNS 
number and maintain an active registration in the SAM database. The 
DUNS number is a unique 9-digit identification number provided by D&B, 
which uniquely identifies each entity. The DUNS number is site 
specific; therefore, each distinct performance site may be assigned a 
DUNS number. Obtaining a DUNS number is easy, and there is no charge. 
To obtain a DUNS number, please access the request service through 
http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform, or call (866) 705-5711. The Federal 
Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006, as amended 
(``Transparency Act''), requires all HHS recipients to report 
information on sub-awards. Accordingly, all IHS grantees must notify 
potential first-tier sub-recipients that no entity may receive a first-
tier sub-award unless the entity has provided its DUNS number to the 
prime grantee organization. This requirement ensures the use of a 
universal identifier to enhance the quality of information available to 
the public pursuant to the Transparency Act.
System for Award Management (SAM)
    Organizations that are not registered with SAM must have a DUNS 
number first, then access the SAM online registration through the SAM 
home page at https://www.sam.gov/SAM/ (U.S. organizations will also 
need to provide an Employer Identification Number from the Internal 
Revenue Service that may take an additional 2-5 weeks to become 
active). Please see SAM.gov for details on the registration process and 
timeline. Registration with the SAM is free of charge, but can take 
several weeks to process. Applicants may register online at https://www.sam.gov/SAM/.
    Additional information on implementing the Transparency Act, 
including the specific requirements for DUNS and SAM, are available on 
the IHS Grants Management, Policy Topics website: http://www.ihs.gov/dgm/policytopics/.

meet the eligibility criteria shall be reviewed for merit by the 
Objective Review Committee (ORC) based on evaluation criteria. 
Incomplete applications and applications that are not responsive to the 
administrative thresholds will not be referred to the ORC and will not 
be funded. The applicant will be notified of this determination. 
Applicants must address all program requirements and provide all 
required documentation.

3. Notifications of Disposition

    All applicants will receive an Executive Summary Statement from the 
IHS Office of Direct Service and Contracting Tribes (ODSCT) within 30 
days of the conclusion of the ORC outlining the strengths and 
weaknesses of their application. The summary statement will be sent to 
the Authorizing Official identified on the face page (SF-424) of the 
application.
A. Award Notices for Funded Applications
    The Notice of Award (NoA) is the authorizing document for which 
funds are dispersed to the approved entities and reflects the amount of 
Federal funds awarded, the purpose of the grant, the terms and 
conditions of the award, the effective date of the award, and the 
budget/project period. Each entity approved for funding must have a 
user account in GrantSolutions in order to retrieve the NoA. Please see 
the Agency Contacts list in Section VII for the systems contact 
information.
B. Approved But Unfunded Applications
    Approved applications not funded due to lack of available funds 
will be held for one year. If funding becomes available during the 
course of the year, the application may be reconsidered.

    Note:  Any correspondence other than the official NoA executed 
by an IHS grants management official announcing to the project 
director that an award has been made to their organization is not an 
authorization to implement their program on behalf of the IHS.

VI. Award Administration Information

1. Administrative Requirements

    Grants are administered in accordance with the following 
regulations and policies:
    A. The criteria as outlined in this program announcement.
    B. Administrative Regulations for Grants:
     Uniform Administrative Requirements for HHS Awards, 
located at 45 CFR part 75.

2. Indirect Costs

    This section applies to all recipients that request reimbursement 
of indirect costs (IDC) in their application budget. In accordance with 
HHS Grants Policy Statement, Part II-27, IHS requires applicants to 
obtain a current IDC rate agreement, and submit it to DGM, prior to DGM 
issuing an award. The rate agreement must be prepared in accordance 
with the applicable cost principles and guidance as provided by the 
cognizant agency or office. A current rate covers the applicable grant 
activities under the current award's budget period. If the current rate 
agreement is not on file with the DGM at the time of award, the IDC 
portion of the budget will be restricted. The restrictions remain in 
place until the current rate agreement is provided to the DGM.
    Available funds are inclusive of direct and appropriate indirect 
costs. Approved indirect funds are awarded as part of the award amount, 
and no additional funds will be provided.
    Generally, IDC rates for IHS grantees are negotiated with the 
Division of Cost Allocation (DCA) https://rates.psc.gov/ or the 
Department of Interior (Interior Business Center) https://ibc.doi.gov/ICS/tribal. For questions regarding the indirect cost policy, please 
call the Grants Management Specialist listed

[[Page 37683]]

under ``Agency Contacts'' or the main DGM office at (301) 443-5204.

3. Reporting Requirements

    The grantee must submit required reports consistent with the 
applicable deadlines. Failure to submit required reports within the 
time allowed may result in suspension or termination of an active 
grant, withholding of additional awards for the project, or other 
enforcement actions such as withholding of payments or converting to 
the reimbursement method of payment. Continued failure to submit 
required reports may result in one or both of the following: (1) The 
imposition of special award provisions; and (2) the non-funding or non-
award of other eligible projects or activities. This requirement 
applies whether the delinquency is attributable to the failure of the 
grantee organization or the individual responsible for preparation of 
the reports. Per DGM policy, all reports are required to be submitted 
electronically by attaching them as a ``Grant Note'' in GrantSolutions. 
Personnel responsible for submitting reports will be required to obtain 
a login and password for GrantSolutions. Please see the Agency Contacts 
list in section VII for the systems contact information.
    The reporting requirements for this program are noted below.
A. Progress Reports

Federal Financial Report.
C. Federal Sub-Award Reporting System (FSRS)
    This award may be subject to the Transparency Act sub-award and 
executive compensation reporting requirements of 2 CFR part 170.
    The Transparency Act requires the OMB to establish a single 
searchable database, accessible to the public, with information on 
financial assistance awards made by Federal agencies. The Transparency 
Act also includes a requirement for recipients of Federal grants to 
report information about first-tier sub-awards and executive 
compensation under Federal assistance awards. IHS has implemented a 
Term of Award into all IHS Standard Terms and Conditions, NoAs and 
funding announcements regarding the FSRS reporting requirement. This 
IHS Term of Award is applicable to all IHS grant and cooperative 
agreements issued on or after October 1, 2010, with a $25,000 sub-award 
obligation dollar threshold met for any specific reporting period. 
Additionally, all new (discretionary) IHS awards (where the period of 
performance is made up of more than one budget period) and where: (1) 
The period of performance start date was October 1, 2010 or after, and 
(2) the primary awardee will have a $25,000 sub-award obligation dollar 
threshold during any specific reporting period will be required to 
address the FSRS reporting.

VIII. Other Information

    The Public Health Service strongly encourages all grant, 
cooperative agreement and contract recipients to provide a smoke-free 
workplace and promote the non-use of all tobacco products. In addition, 
Public Law 103-227, the Pro-Children Act of 1994, prohibits smoking in 
certain facilities (or in some cases, any portion of the facility) in 
which regular or routine education, library, day care, health care, or 
early childhood development services are provided to children. This is 
consistent with the HHS mission to protect and advance the physical and 
mental health of the American people.
