Funding Opportunity Description Statutory Authority The Indian Health Service (IHS), Office of Urban Indian Health Programs (OUIHP), announces the FY 2013 single source competing grant for operation support for the 4-in-1 Title V grant to make health care services more accessible for American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/ AN) residing in the Boston metropolitan area. This program is authorized under the authority of the Snyder Act, 25 U.S.C. 13, and the Indian Health Care Improvement Act (IHCIA), as amended, 25 U.S.C. 1652, 1653, 1660a. This program is described at 93.193 in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA). Purpose Under this grant opportunity, the IHS proposes to award a single source grant to Native American Lifelines, Inc., which is an urban Indian organization that has an existing IHS contract, in accordance with 25 U.S.C. 1653(c)-(f), 1660a, in the Boston metropolitan area. This grant announcement seeks to ensure the highest possible health status for urban Indians. Funding will be used to establish the urban Indian organization's successful implementation of the priorities of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Strategic Plan Fiscal Years 2010-2015, Healthy People 2020, and the IHS Strategic Plan 2006-2011. Additionally, funding will be utilized to meet objectives for Government Performance Rating Act (GPRA) reporting, collaborative activities with the Veterans Health Administration (VA), and four health programs that make health services more accessible to urban Indians. The four health services programs are: (1) Health Promotion/ Disease Prevention (HP/DP) services, (2) Immunizations, (3) Behavioral Health Services consisting of Alcohol/Substance Abuse services, and (4) Mental Health Prevention and Treatment services. These programs are integral components of the IHS improvement in patient care initiative and the strategic objectives focused on improving safety, quality, affordability, and accessibility of health care. Single Source Justification Native American Lifelines, Inc. is identified as the single source for this award, based on the following criteria: 1. As required by law, the grants authorized by 25 U.S.C. 1653(c)- (f), 1660a may only be awarded to those urban Indian organizations that have a current contract with the IHS to provide health care to urban Indians, in the urban center identified in the contract. 2. Native American Lifelines is the urban Indian organization IHS currently contracts with to provide health care and referral services to urban Indians residing in the Boston area. Native American Lifelines, Inc. is uniquely qualified to receive this award and provide the identified program activities based on their history with the urban Indian health programs, and their knowledge of urban Indian health and the Boston target population. The program is licensed by the state as a behavioral health provider; all of the staff operating at the facility are licensed and credential in their respective fields (specifically behavioral health); and they use evidence-based behavioral health assessment and treatment strategies with success. The program successfully uses targeted outreach and comprehensive case management services for clients in the community. Through this outreach and case management, the program has expanded offering to include on-site dental service and transportation. Also, the program has been successful in entering into collaborative agreements with community health resources for the provision of quality and comprehensive health care for clients.

Dun and Bradstreet (D&B) Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) All IHS applicants and grantee organizations are required to obtain a DUNS number and maintain an active registration in the SAM database. The DUNS number is a unique 9-digit identification number provided by D&B which uniquely identifies each entity. The DUNS number is site specific; therefore, each distinct performance site may be assigned a DUNS number. Obtaining a DUNS number is easy, and there is no charge. To obtain a DUNS number, please access it through http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform, or to expedite the process, call (866) 705- 5711. All HHS recipients are required by the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006, as amended (``Transparency Act''), to report information on subawards. Accordingly, all IHS grantees must notify potential first-tier subrecipients that no entity may receive a first-tier subaward unless the entity has provided its DUNS number to the prime grantee organization. This requirement ensures the use of a universal identifier to enhance the quality of information available to the public pursuant to the ``Transparency Act.'' System for Award Management (SAM) Organizations that were not registered with Central Contractor Registration (CCR) and have not registered with SAM will need to obtain a DUNS number first and then access the SAM online registration through the SAM home page at https://www.sam.gov (U.S. organizations will also need to provide an Employer Identification Number from the Internal Revenue Service that may take an additional 2-5 weeks to become active). Completing and submitting the registration takes approximately one hour to complete and SAM registration will take 3-5 business days to process. Registration with the SAM is free of charge. Applicants may register online at https://www.sam.gov. Additional information on implementing the ``Transparency Act,'' including the specific requirements for DUNS and SAM, can be found on the IHS Grants Management, Grants Policy Web site: https://www.ihs.gov/dgm/index.cfm?module=dsp_dgm_policy_topics.

Grantees are responsible and accountable for accurate information being reported on all required reports; the Progress Reports, and Federal Financial Report. C. Federal Subaward Reporting System (FSRS) This award may be subject to the Transparency Act subaward and executive compensation reporting requirements of 2 CFR part 170. The Transparency Act requires the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to establish a single searchable database, accessible to the public, with information on financial assistance awards made by Federal agencies. The Transparency Act also includes a requirement for recipients of Federal grants to report information about first-tier subawards and executive compensation under Federal assistance awards. IHS has implemented a Term of Award into all IHS Standard Terms and Conditions, NoAs and funding announcements regarding the FSRS reporting requirement. This IHS Term of Award is applicable to all IHS grant and cooperative agreements issued on or after October 1, 2010, with a $25,000 subaward obligation dollar threshold met for any specific reporting period. Additionally, all new (discretionary) IHS awards (where the project period is made up of more than one budget period) and where: (1) The project period start date was October 1, 2010 or after and (2) the primary awardee will have a $25,000 subaward obligation dollar threshold during any specific reporting period will be required to address the FSRS reporting. For the full IHS award term implementing this requirement and additional award applicability information, visit the Grants Management Grants Policy Web site at: https://www.ihs.gov/dgm/index.cfm?module=dsp_dgm_policy_topics.
