Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2021 IHS EPI 0001
The Epidemiology Program for American Indian/Alaska Native Tribes and Urban Indian Communities (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2021 IHS EPI 0001) is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Indian Health Service (IHS). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means awardees can expect ongoing collaboration and substantial program involvement from the federal agency compared with a standard grant. The program falls under the health funding activity category and is listed under CFDA 93.231.
The central goal of the opportunity is to strengthen public health and epidemiology capacity in American Indian and Alaska Native settings by supporting entities that can identify meaningful health status indicators, define health priorities, and apply sound epidemiologic principles to guide action. In practical terms, the funding is intended to help Tribes, Tribal organizations, Urban Indian organizations, and inter-Tribal consortia build or expand their ability to collect, analyze, and interpret health data, translate findings into actionable public health strategies, and support interventions designed to reduce illness (morbidity) and prevent deaths (mortality). The emphasis is on using epidemiology to drive decision-making, so funded work is expected to connect data and analysis directly to the planning and implementation of public health interventions.
Eligible applicants include federally recognized Native American tribal governments, Native American tribal organizations (including those other than federally recognized tribal governments), and certain nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The eligibility list also notes that additional applicant types may qualify as described in the full opportunity’s eligibility clarification language, indicating that some applicants could be considered under special circumstances or definitions used by IHS for this program.
In terms of scale, the opportunity anticipated making about 12 awards, with a maximum award amount (ceiling) of $3,000,000. The notice was created on July 30, 2021, and the original application deadline was September 1, 2021. Overall, the program is designed to reinforce and expand community-centered epidemiologic infrastructure and expertise so that American Indian/Alaska Native Tribes and Urban Indian communities can better track health conditions, set evidence-based priorities, and carry out targeted public health responses that improve population health outcomes.Apply for HHS 2021 IHS EPI 0001
