I. Funding Opportunity Description 

Statutory Authority 

The Indian Health Service (IHS) 

Office of Urban Indian Health Programs 

(OUIHP) is accepting applications for 

competitive grants for the Fiscal Year 

(FY) 2019 4-in-1 for Urban Indian 

Organizations. This program is 

authorized under the Snyder Act, 25 

U.S.C. 13, Public Law 67–85, and Title 

V of the Indian Health Care 

Improvement Act (IHCIA), Public Law 

94–437, as amended, specifically the 

provisions codified at 25 U.S.C. 

1653(c)–(e) (authorizing grants for 

health promotion and disease 

prevention services, immunization 

services and mental health services), 

and § 1660a (authorizing grants for 

alcohol and substance abuse related 

services). This program is described in 

the Catalog of Federal Domestic 

Assistance (CFDA) under 93.193. 

Background 

In the late 1960s, Urban Indian 

community leaders began advocating at 

the local, State and Federal levels to 

address the unmet health care needs of 

Urban Indians, and requested health 

care services and programs. These 

efforts resulted in an increase of 

preventative, medical, and behavioral 

health services, but there was growing 

recognition of challenges preventing 

Urban Indians in seeking health care 

services. To address these barriers, 

advocacy focused on the development 

of culturally appropriate activities that 

were unique to the social, cultural and 

spiritual needs of American Indians and 

Alaska Natives residing in urban 

settings. Programs developed at that 

time were staffed by volunteers in 

storefront settings with limited budgets 

offering primary care and outreach and 

referral-type services. 

In response to efforts of the Urban 

Indian community leaders, Congress 

appropriated funds in 1966, through the 

IHS, for a pilot urban clinic in Rapid 

City, South Dakota. In 1973, Congress 

appropriated funds to study unmet 

Urban Indian health needs in 

Minneapolis, Minnesota. The findings 

of this study documented cultural, 

economic, and access barriers to health 

care and led to congressional 

appropriations under the Snyder Act to 

support emerging Urban Indian clinics 

in several Bureau of Indian Affairs 

relocation cities, e.g., Seattle, San 

Francisco, Tulsa, and Dallas. In 1976, 

Congress passed the IHCIA, Public Law 

94–437, establishing the Urban Indian 

health program under Title V. Congress 

reauthorized the IHCIA in 2010 under 

Public Law 111–148 (2010). This law is 

considered health care reform 

legislation to improve the health and 

well-being of all American Indians and 

Alaska Natives, including Urban 

Indians. Title V-specific funding is 

authorized for the development of 

programs for Urban Indians residing in 

urban areas. These areas include health 

promotion and disease prevention (HP/ 

DP) services, immunization services, 

alcohol and substance abuse related 

services, and mental health services, 

hereafter referred to as ‘‘4-in-1,’’ health 

programs or services. 

Purpose 

The purpose of this IHS grant 

announcement is to award funding to 

Urban Indian Organizations to ensure 

the highest possible health status for 

Urban Indians. Funding will be used to 

support the 4-in-1 health program 

objectives. Specifically, the four health 

programs are: (1) HP/DP services, (2) 

immunization services, (3) alcohol and 

substance abuse related services, and (4) 

mental health services. These programs 

are integral components of the IHS 

health care delivery system. Funds from 

this effort will ensure that 

comprehensive, culturally acceptable 

personal and public health services are 

available and accessible to Urban 

Indians. 

II. Award Information 

Type of Awards 

Grants. 

Estimated Funds Available 

The total amount of funding 

identified for FY 2019 is approximately 

$8.3 million. Individual award amounts 

are anticipated to be between $50,000 

and $650,000. Total funding available 

for competitive new and competing 

continuation awards issued under this 

announcement is subject to the 

availability of appropriations and 

budgetary priorities of the Agency. The 

IHS is under no obligation to make 

awards that are selected for funding 

under this announcement. 

New applicants are eligible to apply 

for funding, up to $200,000, under this 

funding announcement. Current 4-in-1 

grantees are eligible to apply for 

competing continuation funding under 

this announcement and must 

demonstrate that they have complied 

with previous terms and conditions of 

the 4-in-1 grant in order to receive 

funding under this announcement. 

Current 4-in-1 grantees may request 

annual funds up to the total cost amount 

approved in the last noncompeting 

award. 

Anticipated Number of Awards 

Approximately 39 grants will be 

issued under this program 

announcement.

are required to obtain a DUNS number 

and maintain an active registration in 

the SAM database. The DUNS number 

is a unique 9-digit identification number 

provided by D&B that uniquely 

identifies each entity. The DUNS 

number is site-specific; therefore, each 

distinct performance site may be 

assigned a DUNS number. Obtaining a 

DUNS number is easy, and there is no 

charge. To obtain a DUNS number, 

please access the Government Customer 

support center request service through 

http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform, or call

All HHS recipients are required by the 

Federal Funding Accountability and 

Transparency Act of 2006 (, as amended 

(‘‘Transparency Act), to report 

information on sub-awards. 

Accordingly, all IHS grantees must 

notify potential first-tier sub-recipients 

that no entity may receive a first-tier 

sub-award unless the entity has 

provided its DUNS number to the prime 

grantee organization This requirement 

ensures the use of a universal identifier 

to enhance the quality of information 

available to the public pursuant to the 

Transparency Act. 

System for Award Management (SAM) 

Organizations that are not registered 

with SAM will need to obtain a DUNS 

number first and then access the SAM 

online registration through the SAM 

home page at https://www.sam.gov (U.S. 

organizations will also need to provide 

an Employer Identification Number 

from the Internal Revenue Service that 

may take an additional 2–5 weeks to 

become active. Please see SAM.gov for 

details on the registration process and 

timeline. Registration with the SAM is 

free of charge, but can take several 

weeks to process. Applicants may 

register online at https://www.sam.gov.

A. Statement of Need (25 points) 

Applications will be evaluated based 

on following criteria: 

1. Identify the proposed urban center 

and provide demographic information 

on the population(s) to receive services. 

Describe the stakeholders and resources 

in the urban center that can help 

implement activities for these projects 

(HP/DP services, immunization services, 

alcohol and substance abuse related 

services, and mental health services). 

2. Based on the information and/or 

data currently available, document the 

need to implement, sustain, and 

improve health care services offered to 

Urban Indians. 

3. Based on available data, describe 

the service gaps and other problems 

related to the needs of Urban Indians. 

Identify the source of the data. 

Documentation of need may come from 

a variety of qualitative and quantitative 

sources. Examples of data sources for 

the quantitative data that could be used 

are local epidemiologic data such as 

Tribal Epidemiology Centers or IHS 

Area Offices, state data from state needs 

assessments, and/or national data from 

the Substance Abuse and Mental Health 

Services Administration’s National

2. Indirect Costs 

This section applies to all recipients 

requesting reimbursement of indirect 

costs (IDC) in their application budget. 

In accordance with HHS Grants Policy 

Statement, Part II–27, the IHS requires 

applicants to obtain a current negotiated 

IDC rate agreement prior to award. The 

rate agreement must be prepared in 

accordance with the applicable cost 

principles and guidance as provided by 

the cognizant agency or office. A current 

rate covers the applicable grant 

activities under the current award’s 

budget period. If the current rate is not 

on file with the DGM at the time of 

award, the IDC portion of the budget 

will be restricted. The restrictions 

remain in place until the current rate 

agreement is provided to the DGM. 

Generally, IDC rates for grantees are 

negotiated with the Division of Cost 

Allocation (DCA) https://rates.psc.gov/. 

For questions regarding the indirect cost 

policy, please call the Grants 

Management Specialist listed under 

Agency Contacts in Section VII or the 

main DGM office at (301) 443–5204. 

3. Reporting Requirements 

The grantee must submit required 

reports consistent with the applicable 

deadlines. Failure to submit required 

reports within the time allowed may 

result in suspension or termination of 

an active grant, withholding of 

additional awards for the project, or 

other enforcement actions, such as 

withholding of payments or converting 

to the reimbursement method of 

payment. Continued failure to submit 

required reports may result in one or 

both of the following: (1) The 

imposition of special award provisions; 

and (2) the non-funding or non-award of 

other eligible projects or activities. This 

requirement applies whether the 

delinquency is attributable to the failure 

of the grantee organization or the 

individual responsible for preparation 

of the reports. Per DGM policy, all 

reports are required to be submitted 

electronically by attaching them as a 

‘‘Grant Note’’ in GrantSolutions at 

https://home.grantsolutions.gov/home/.

VIII. Other Information 

The U.S. Public Health Service 

strongly encourages all grant, 

cooperative agreement, and contract 

recipients to provide a smoke-free 

workplace and promote the non-use of 

all tobacco products. In addition, the 

Pro-Children Act of 1994, (Pub. L. 103– 

227), prohibits smoking in certain 

facilities (or in some cases, any portion 

of the facility) in which regular or 

routine education, library, day care, 

health care, or early childhood 

development services are provided to 

children. This is consistent with the 

HHS mission to protect and advance the 

physical and mental health of the 

American people.
