Tribal Self-Governance Program (TSGP) Planning Cooperative Agreements will award funds to tribes interested in participating in the TSGP so they can manage IHS programs, services, functions, and activities and tailor healthcare programs to community needs.

The planning phase helps tribes make informed decisions about healthcare programs, as well as the organizational changes necessary to successfully support them. The planning phase is designed to ensure that the tribe is fully prepared to assume the transfer of IHS programs and services to the tribal health program.

To be eligible for this opportunity, an applicant must:

• Be a Tribe; Tribal organization; or Alaska Native village, group, or regional/village corporation
• Request participation in self-governance by resolution or other official action by the governing body of each Indian tribe to be served.
• Demonstrate, for 3 fiscal years, financial stability and financial management capability

Tribes prohibited under the Alaska Moratorium from receiving funds pursuant to the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (ISDEAA) are not eligible.
