Capacity Building Among American Indian Tribes

The Department of Health and Human Services Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry operates CFDA 93.202, Capacity Building Among American Indian Tribes, which funds tribal environmental health capacity building, response to hazardous substance releases, and culturally appropriate health education materials and community engagement; the most recent grant award on record dates to September 1, 2004.

This program shows no recent activity. The grant_award_portfolio reports only two awards, both disbursed on September 1, 2004, with ultimate completion dates of August 31, 2009. No grant awards have been obligated in the 22 years since that date. No recent grant opportunities appear in the source material.

When the program was active, it funded environmental and public health capacity building within tribal colleges and universities. Both recorded awards—Block Grants U61TS874270 and U61TS974271, each for $50,000—targeted this scope. The assistance-type mix consisted entirely of Block Grants.

The program is exclusively funded by ATSR, with no competing or collaborating federal agencies recorded. Combined federal dollars obligated across the two awards totaled $100,000, representing typical award magnitudes of $50,000 per grant.

The extreme recency gap—no awards in two decades—and absence of posted opportunities make this program inactive for practical business development purposes. Before pursuing any activity under CFDA 93.202, validate with ATSR whether the program remains authorized and is accepting new applications. If reactivation or ongoing funding is confirmed, target tribal colleges and universities as the primary eligible applicant pool and structure proposals around hazardous substance remediation and tribal environmental health workforce development aligned with the two prior awards' focus.
