Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2020 IHS TSGP 0001
The Office of Tribal Self-Governance Planning Cooperative Agreement is an Indian Health Service (IHS) funding opportunity designed to help Tribes and Tribal organizations prepare for Tribal Self-Governance in health programs. Its core purpose is to provide planning resources for two groups: Tribes that are considering entering the Tribal Self-Governance Program (TSGP) for the first time, and Tribes already participating in Self-Governance that want to take on new or expanded Programs, Services, Functions, and Activities (PSFAs). In practical terms, the award supports the groundwork that has to happen before a Tribe decides what responsibilities to assume from IHS and how to structure its own systems to manage those responsibilities effectively.
This opportunity is rooted in Title V of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (ISDEAA), which requires a Tribe or Tribal organization to complete a planning phase to the satisfaction of the Tribe before entering into or expanding Self-Governance arrangements. The planning phase must include legal and budgetary research, along with internal Tribal government planning and organizational preparation related to administering health care programs (referenced in 25 U.S.C. 5383(d)). The emphasis is on due diligence: understanding the legal authorities and obligations, analyzing budgets and funding streams, and preparing Tribal leadership and administrative structures for the operational realities of running health-related PSFAs.
A major theme of the grant is readiness for negotiation and transfer. The planning phase is described as critical because it helps Tribes make informed decisions about which PSFAs to assume and what internal changes might be required to support them, such as staffing, financial systems, policies, governance processes, reporting capacity, and program management infrastructure. The underlying idea is that stronger upfront planning leads to more timely, efficient negotiations and reduces the risk of disruptions when IHS PSFAs are transferred to a Tribal health program.
An important feature of the announcement is that receiving this Planning Cooperative Agreement is not required to enter the TSGP. A Tribe can satisfy the ISDEAA planning requirement using other resources, and participation in this award does not lock a Tribe into joining or expanding Self-Governance. Tribes that receive planning funds are explicitly not obligated to proceed; they can choose to delay or decline participation based on what they learn during planning. That same flexibility applies to current Self-Governance Tribes that use the funding to explore expansion and ultimately decide not to add PSFAs.
Administratively, this is a discretionary grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Indian Health Service, offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means there is substantial federal involvement or partnership during the project compared with a standard grant. The funding activity category is health, and it falls under CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 93.444. Eligible applicants include federally recognized Native American tribal governments, Native American tribal organizations (including those other than federally recognized tribal governments), and potentially other entities as clarified in the opportunity’s eligibility notes.
The specific posting details provided indicate the opportunity was created on July 30, 2020, with an original closing date of October 28, 2020. The award ceiling listed is $120,000, and the agency anticipated making about five awards. Overall, the grant is essentially a planning and capacity-building resource meant to support informed decision-making, organizational preparedness, and smoother negotiations for Tribes considering entering or expanding participation in the Tribal Self-Governance Program for health-related functions.Apply for HHS 2020 IHS TSGP 0001
