Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2020 IHS UIHP3 0001
The National Urban Indian Behavioral Health Awareness grant opportunity is a discretionary funding program from the Department of Health and Human Services, Indian Health Service (IHS), offered as a cooperative agreement. Its central aim is to raise national-level awareness, visibility, advocacy, and education around behavioral health issues affecting American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) people living in urban areas, with the broader intent of strengthening and improving urban Indian health care. Rather than focusing on direct clinical service expansion at a single site, the opportunity emphasizes public-facing and system-supporting work that elevates behavioral health priorities, reduces stigma, informs communities and partners, and strengthens engagement around urban AI/AN behavioral health needs.
The opportunity is explicitly tied to the IHS 2019-2023 Strategic Plan, particularly the goals of making comprehensive and culturally appropriate health services accessible to AI/AN people and promoting quality and innovation across the Indian health system. In practical terms, that alignment signals that proposed activities should be culturally grounded, collaborative, and designed to improve how well health systems and community partners respond to behavioral health needs. It also highlights a preference for efforts that build, strengthen, and sustain relationships among organizations and stakeholders, and for approaches that improve care and responsiveness for AI/AN communities through better-informed practices and coordination.
Eligibility centers on Urban Indian Organizations (UIOs) as defined in federal law (25 U.S.C. 1603(29)). Under that definition, a UIO is a nonprofit corporation located in an urban center, governed by an urban Indian-controlled board of directors, structured to allow broad participation by interested Indian groups and individuals, and capable of working legally with public and private entities to carry out authorized activities described in 25 U.S.C. 1653(a). A key condition in the notice is that the funded activities must be intended to support all organizations that meet the statutory definition of a UIO, which points to a national or broadly applicable scope. In other words, the award is meant to produce resources, outreach, coordination, messaging, training, or similar products and activities that benefit the wider network of UIOs rather than only serving one organization or one local program.
From a funding and competition standpoint, this opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: HHS 2020 IHS UIHP3 0001; CFDA: 93.193) planned a single award with an award ceiling of $75,000. The original posting date was November 20, 2020, with an original closing date of December 21, 2020. Because it is structured as a cooperative agreement, the recipient would typically work in closer collaboration with IHS than under a standard grant, meaning IHS may have substantial involvement in shaping, coordinating, or guiding the work to ensure it aligns with national goals, maintains cultural appropriateness, and produces broadly useful outcomes for urban Indian health programs.
Overall, the grant opportunity is best understood as a targeted investment in national behavioral health awareness and advocacy infrastructure for urban AI/AN communities. It is designed to amplify behavioral health issues, strengthen partnerships, and improve how urban Indian health efforts communicate, educate, and coordinate around behavioral health, with deliverables and benefits intended to extend across the full set of organizations that qualify as Urban Indian Organizations under federal statute.Apply for HHS 2020 IHS UIHP3 0001
