What it does

Tribes and tribal organizations that want to prepare to run health care for their members under the Tribal Self-Governance Program (a program that lets tribes take over management of federal health services) are the eligible applicants. The Indian Health Service intends to issue three awards under each program announcement, and the forecast estimates posting on 2027-02-01 for fiscal year 2027.

Why it matters for tribal funding

Directly tribal. The document is about tribes, tribal programs or Native organizations specifically.

Who it covers: Tribal governments.

What to do next

  1. Watch for the estimated 2027-02-01 posting of opportunity HHS-2027-IHS-TSGN-0001.
  2. Begin planning a planning-and-negotiation application ahead of the estimated application due date of 2027-04-01.
