Description
The Indian Health Service (IHS), within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, administers the Tribal Management Grant program to help tribes and tribal organizations develop and improve their health management capabilities. The program supports preparation for assuming all or part of existing IHS programs, functions, services, and activities under Public Law 93-638, the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act, as amended.
This discretionary health grant focuses on tribal management development in connection with those responsibilities. Its purpose encompasses both preparation to take on IHS activities and further development of tribes’ and tribal organizations’ capacity to manage health services.
