Indian Health Service

Description

The purpose of the Planning Cooperative Agreement is to provide resources to Tribes interested in participating in the Tribal Self-Governance Program (TSGP), as authorized by Public Law (Pub. L.) 106-260, the Tribal Self-Governance Amendments of 2000, and Title V of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act, Pub. L. 93-638, as amended (Title V) (25 U.S.C. § 458aaa-2(e)). The Planning Cooperative Agreement enables a Tribe to gather information on the current types of programs, services, functions, and activities (PSFAs) and related funding available at the Service Unit, Area, and Headquarters levels as well as determine the organizational preparation related to the administration of health programs.There is limited competition under this announcement because the authorizing legislation restricts eligibility to Tribes that meet specific criteria (Refer to Section III.1.A., ELIGIBLE APPLICANTS in this announcement). The TSGP is designed to promote Self-Governance by enabling Tribes to assume control of Indian Health Service (IHS) PSFAs, or portions thereof, through compacts negotiated with the IHS. This program is described at 93.444 in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA).
