I. Funding Opportunity 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
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:32 Mar 29, 2006
Jkt 208001
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.
CYP goals are to support AI/AN
children and youth, to promote healthy
nutrition, physical activity, reduce teen
pregnancy, and aid in the risk reduction
of injuries, early morbidity, and
premature mortality from injuries.
Additional program goals are to aid in
the risk reduction of alcohol, tobacco,
inhalant and substance abuse, to
support a healthy learning environment,
and to promote staying in school, and to
support community level activities
directed at AI/AN children and youth.
The MCH programmatic goals for the
CYP cooperative agreement align with
the ‘‘Healthy People 2010’’ goals and
specific sub-objectives for children and
youth. MCH programmatic goals are as
follows:
1. Newly-funded projects will have
quality impact and outcome data within
three years of initial funding aligned
with two or more ‘‘Healthy People
2010’’ sub-objectives for children and
youth.
2. Established projects (those with at
least two years of project evaluation
data) who wish to re-compete will
demonstrate, within three years of this
funding, at least four uses of their data
for developing or refining local child

and youth services, public health
programs, school-linked activities or
policies addressing child and youth
programs. In addition, within three
years of this funding, they will align
with two or more ‘‘Health People 2010’’
sub-objectives for children and youth.
Project activities should include
children and youth specific community
services, summer programs, camps,
before and after school programs and
school connected activities. Projects
fostering native language; the imparting
of traditional cultural values and
practices; parent and family
involvement; and intergenerational and
peer mentoring are encouraged. Projects
directed at children with special health
care needs, special educational needs,
detained and incarcerated youth, and
aftercare for youth in residential
treatment programs are also encouraged.
Projects that focus on children and
youth abuse/neglect and sexual abuse;
their awareness, prevention, and
treatment are also appropriate. The
assembling, training and using of
interdisciplinary teams for the
assessment of children and youth
including assessment and management
or care management, or the risk
stratification of children and youth for
disease and disability (injury)
prevention, health maintenance
improved socialization, and
maximization of their learning is
encouraged. The education of children
and youth, their communities and
families, is part of the IHS effort to
promote awareness of the particular
needs of children and youth. Therefore,
proposed projects may plan, execute
and demonstrate strategies that
incorporate pamphlets, books and
workbooks, posters, modules or training
sessions, audio, video, educational
television network programming, or
other media presentations aimed either
at the consumer and/or the support of
youth initiatives. Projects designed to
change health behaviors by modifying
the environment and/or implementing/
enforcing policies and procedures are
also encouraged.
Projects will be funded in one of two
categories. Community capacity varies
and projects themselves can differ in
size and complexity. Funds will be
made available for small projects for
$5,000–$15,000, and larger projects for
$50,000–$75,000 per year.
Note: For any current grantees under
separate awards that wish to apply for this
funding period, July 17, 2006–July 16, 2009,
grantee must not have overlapping award
dates. If a funding date overlaps, grantee
must terminate from current awards or have
the newly funded grant amount reduced to
avoid dual funding. This announcement
