About this opportunity
The Tribal Self-Governance Planning Cooperative Agreement Program, funded by the Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service, provides resources to Tribes interested in entering the Tribal Self-Governance Program (TSGP) and to existing Self Governance Tribes interested in assuming new or expanded programs, services, functions, and activities (PSFAs). The purpose of the planning phase is to conduct legal and budgetary research and internal Tribal government planning and organizational preparation relating to the administration of health care programs, which is critical to efficient negotiations and ensures the Tribe is fully prepared to assume the transfer of IHS PSFAs. The planning phase is not a prerequisite to enter the TSGP, and Tribes that receive the Planning Cooperative Agreement are not obligated to participate in the TSGP.
The Tribal Self-Governance Program: Planning and Negotiation Cooperative Agreement has a CFDA number of 93.444 and is designed to enable Federally recognized Indian tribes to enter into agreements that would allow them to assume PSFAs (or portions thereof) that the IHS would otherwise provide for Indians because of their status. The funding amount and specific details regarding the quantity of goods or timeline for services are not provided in the grant opportunity.
Synopsis
The purpose of this Planning Cooperative Agreement is to provide resources to Tribes interested in entering the Tribal Self-Governance Program (TSGP) and to existing Self Governance Tribes interested in assuming new or expanded PSFAs. Title V of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (ISDEAA) requires a Tribe or Tribal organization (T/TO) to complete a planning phase to the satisfaction of the Tribe. The planning phase must include legal and budgetary research and internal Tribal government planning and organizational preparation relating to the administration of health care programs. The planning phase is critical to negotiations and helps Tribes make informed decisions about which Programs, Services, Functions, and Activities (PSFAs to assume and what organizational changes or modifications are necessary to successfully support those PSFAs. A thorough planning phase improves timeliness and efficient negotiations and ensures that the Tribe is fully prepared to assume the transfer of IHS PSFAs to the Tribal health program. A Planning Cooperative Agreement is not a prerequisite to enter the TSGP and a Tribe may use other resources to meet the planning requirement. Tribes that receive Planning Cooperative Agreements are not obligated to participate in the TSGP and may choose to delay or decline participation based on the outcome of their planning activities. This also applies to existing Self Governance Tribes exploring the option to expand their current PSFAs or assume additional PSFAs.
