Grant Description

The Indian Health Service (IHS) announces a full competition for cooperative agreements for Children and Youth Projects (CYP) established to assist federally-recognized Tribes and urban Indian organizations serving American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) children and youth. These cooperative agreements are established under the authority of the Indian Health Care Improvement Act, 25 U.S.C. 1621(o), and Section 301(a) of the Public Health Service Act, as amended. This program is described at 93.933 in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance. In 2003, the IHS, Office of the Director provided up to three years of support for the Child and Youth Health Initiative (CYHI) Program in rural, remote and urban AI/AN communities. The IHS funded 17 projects and with Administration for Native American (ANA) partnership, an additional five projects were funded. Project characteristics included education activities and direct health care services in one or more settings. Projects focused on two or more health issues and used an average of 4.8 objectives including process, impact, and surveillance measures. These past projects and their approaches reflect a diverse need and gap in services to children and youth in Indian communities. The current announcement seeks to expand the reach into new communities and enhance existing projects. The purpose of the CYP is to assist Federally recognized Tribes and urban Indian organizations in promoting health practices, and addressing unmet needs of children and youth. This need will be accomplished through (1) community designed public health approaches; (2) school-linked activities; and/or (3) clinical services. The Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Program has determined that cooperative agreements are the funding mechanism best suited for the projects to achieve agency and MCH programmatic goals.
