Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2019 IHS EPI 0001
This funding opportunity, titled "Epidemiology Program, Ending the HIV Epidemic in Indian Country, competing supplement 1" (HHS 2019 IHS EPI 0001), is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service (IHS) under CFDA 93.231. It was created on August 6, 2019, with an original application deadline of September 5, 2019. The program anticipated making about five awards, with a maximum award amount (ceiling) of $100,000 per award.
The main purpose of the competitive supplement is to help reduce new HIV infections in American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities while also addressing closely linked co-morbidities, especially sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and hepatitis C virus (HCV). Beyond preventing new infections, the opportunity is also focused on improving health outcomes for people affected by HIV, STIs, and HCV, and on reducing persistent disparities that AI/AN populations experience in prevention, diagnosis, treatment access, and long-term health outcomes. In practical terms, the grant is designed to strengthen the public health and epidemiology capacity needed to understand where infections are occurring, who is being affected, what barriers exist to care, and which interventions are most likely to work in specific Tribal and regional contexts.
The funding is tied directly to the federal Ending the HIV Epidemic: A Plan for America (EHE) initiative and is supported through the HHS Minority HIV/AIDS Fund (MHAF). The EHE framework drives the work through four connected strategies: diagnose, treat, protect, and respond. "Diagnose" emphasizes identifying all people with HIV as early as possible after infection, which typically involves expanding and improving access to testing and strengthening data systems that help public health partners understand testing coverage and gaps. "Treat" focuses on rapid and effective linkage to care and treatment so that individuals achieve and maintain viral suppression, which improves individual health and also prevents onward transmission. "Protect" centers on preventing new HIV transmissions, including using proven prevention approaches and ensuring people at risk can access them in culturally appropriate ways. "Respond" highlights the need to quickly detect and address emerging HIV clusters and transmission patterns, using timely surveillance and coordinated public health action to prevent outbreaks from expanding.
A key feature of this opportunity is its emphasis on achieving EHE's national targets: a 75 percent reduction in new HIV infections within five years and at least a 90 percent reduction within ten years. IHS describes these goals as ambitious but achievable through deliberate, strategic work tailored to Indian Country. The supplement aims to support that progress by investing in epidemiology and community planning capacity, recognizing that better data, stronger coordination, and faster response capabilities are necessary to guide prevention and treatment resources where they will have the greatest impact.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others" with further clarification referenced in the full announcement, but the description makes clear the intended applicants are Tribal Epidemiology Centers (TECs). The supplement is offered specifically to support TEC-led activities across Indian Country within the Community Planning Domain, meaning the work is expected to connect epidemiologic analysis with community-informed planning and implementation. In a cooperative agreement structure, recipients generally carry out the project while working closely with the federal agency, which may provide substantial involvement such as technical direction, coordination support, and alignment with federal initiative priorities.
Overall, this competitive supplement is a targeted investment meant to help TECs and their partners strengthen HIV, STI, and HCV surveillance and public health response; improve prevention and care outcomes; and close inequities affecting AI/AN communities, all while aligning with the national EHE strategies of diagnosing early, treating effectively, protecting people at risk, and responding quickly to clusters and emerging threats.Apply for HHS 2019 IHS EPI 0001
