Matching Grants for Health Professions Scholarships to Indian Tribes

The Department of Health and Human Services Public Health Service administers the Matching Grants for Health Professions Scholarships to Indian Tribes program (CFDA 93.219), which has not disbursed awards since August 1, 2002—more than 24 years ago.

The program funded matching grants to support health professions scholarships for Indian tribes. All four recorded awards in the portfolio were Project Grants issued on a single date in 2002, with completion dates of July 31, 2005. The awards carried negative dollar obligations ranging from $310.02 to $45,876, indicating data anomalies or accounting adjustments that obscure the actual funding magnitude. No recent grant opportunities have been posted, and no awards have been issued in the intervening two decades.

The single funding agency, the Department of Health and Human Services Public Health Service, issued all four awards. Representative 2002 awards include Project Grant D916IHS0010 for $45,876 and Project Grant D916IHS0009 for $16,890, both structured as matching grants with three-year performance periods.

This program is effectively inactive. The 24-year gap between the last award and the present date, combined with the absence of any posted opportunities in recent years, indicates that this funding line is no longer operational. Business development professionals should not pursue this program.
