Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2024 IHS NUIBH 0001
The National Urban Indian Behavioral Health Awareness (NUIBH) program is a discretionary funding opportunity from the Indian Health Service (IHS) designed to raise the national profile of behavioral health needs in Urban Indian communities. Its core aim is to improve Urban Indian health care by increasing awareness, visibility, advocacy, and education related to behavioral health, while also reinforcing IHS efforts to ensure that American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) people living in urban areas can access comprehensive and culturally appropriate services. Rather than focusing on direct clinical care alone, the program emphasizes national coordination, shared learning, and sustained collaboration among Urban Indian organizations (UIOs) and partners.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the recipient will carry out the project with substantial involvement from the federal agency compared to a standard grant. The funded organization is expected to act as a national hub that convenes UIOs, elevates community concerns, and supports improvement of behavioral health policy and service delivery across urban settings. A major required activity is administering an annual national forum, such as a Behavioral Health Urban Indian Listening Session, where every UIO can bring forward concerns and suggestions on behavioral health care policy, service delivery, and program development. This forum is intended to ensure that the voices of Urban Indian communities directly inform broader approaches to behavioral health programming and systems improvement.
In addition to convening and advocacy, the recipient must deliver culturally competent education and technical assistance meant to strengthen UIO capacity. The opportunity specifically calls for support in strategic planning and grant writing, with the practical goal of helping UIOs expand their behavioral health programs and improve their competitiveness for funding from a range of sources. In other words, part of the program is about building long-term organizational capability so that more UIOs can design strong behavioral health initiatives and secure sustainable resources beyond this single award.
The recipient is also responsible for developing and maintaining comprehensive information on UIOs and for broadly disseminating actionable information to all UIOs. This includes sharing details on behavioral health programs, best practices, service delivery approaches, quality improvement methods, and strategies that can be adopted or adapted in different urban communities. A key expectation is that information sharing is not one-way or static; it should be organized, current, and useful in real-world program settings so UIOs can apply it to strengthen prevention, treatment, recovery supports, and related behavioral health services.
Quality improvement and evaluation are built into the required scope of work. The recipient must create a quality improvement process and use appropriate evaluation tools to confirm that the information and resources produced through the project are relevant, culturally appropriate, and genuinely helpful for addressing behavioral health needs in Urban Indian communities. This focus on evaluation signals that the program is meant to produce measurable value, such as improved coordination, stronger program design across UIOs, better dissemination of proven practices, and clearer understanding of gaps and priorities identified through national listening and collaboration.
Eligibility for this opportunity is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The program is listed under CFDA 93.654, and the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement. The award ceiling is $75,000, with one expected award. The funding opportunity number is HHS 2024 IHS NUIBH 0001, it was created on 2023-11-28, and the original closing date is 2024-01-01. A final operational requirement is that activities funded under this agreement must support all organizations that meet the statutory definition of a UIO, meaning the recipient is expected to serve the full UIO landscape nationally rather than a limited subset.Apply for HHS 2024 IHS NUIBH 0001
