applicants and recipients to complete
the application process and provide

Sfmt 4703
Office of the Secretary (OS), Department
of Health and Human Services (HHS).
Funding for the HIV/AIDS award will be
provided by OS via an IntraDepartmental Delegation of Authority
dated July 17, 2017 to IHS to permit
obligation of funding appropriated by
the Consolidated Appropriations Act,
2012, Public Law 112–74. Each award is
funded through a separate funding
stream by each respective Agency’s
appropriations. The awardee is
responsible for accounting for each of
the two awards separately and must
provide two separate financial reports
(one for each award), as indicated
below. This program is described in the
Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance
under 93.933.
Background
The NIHOE program carries out
health program objectives in the
American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN)
community in the interest of improving
Indian health care for all 566 Federallyrecognized Tribes including Tribal
governments operating their own health
care delivery systems through Indian
Self-Determination and Education
Assistance Act (ISDEAA) contracts and
compacts with the IHS and Tribes that
continue to receive health care directly
from the IHS. This program addresses
health policy and health programs
issues and disseminates educational
information to all AI/AN Tribes and
villages. The NIHOE MSPI and HIV/
AIDS awards require that public forums
be held at Tribal educational consumer
conferences to disseminate changes and
updates in the latest health care
information. These awards also require
that regional and national meetings be
coordinated for information
dissemination as well as for the
inclusion of planning and technical
assistance and health care
recommendations on behalf of
participating Tribes to ultimately inform
IHS and the Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS) based on Tribal
input through a broad based consumer
network.
Purpose
The purpose of these cooperative
agreements is to further IHS health
program objectives in the AI/AN
