I. Funding Opportunity Description

Statutory Authority

The Indian Health Service (IHS) Special Diabetes Program for
Indians (SDPI) is accepting new and competing continuation cooperative
agreement applications for the Community-Directed Grant Program. This
program is authorized by Section 330C of the Public Health Service Act,
codified at 42 U.S.C. 254c-3, as amended, and by the Snyder Act, 25
U.S.C. 13. This program is described in the Catalog of Federal Domestic
Assistance (CFDA) under 93.237.

Background

Diabetes is a complex and costly chronic disease that requires
tremendous long-term efforts to prevent and treat. Although diabetes is
a nationwide public health problem, American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/
AN) people are disproportionately affected. In 2012, 15.9% of AI/AN
people aged 20 years or older had diagnosed diabetes, compared to 7.6%
of non-Hispanic white people [CDC, 2014 (http://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/pubs/statsreport14/national-diabetes-report-web.pdf)]. In addition, AI/
AN people have higher rates of diabetes-related morbidity and mortality
than the general U.S. population [O'Connell, 2012 (http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/33/7/1463.full?sid=f3c75e2c-5b22-479b-ac82-6e96b5f7576c); Cho, 2014 (http://ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/full/10.2105/AJPH.2014.301968)]. Strategies to address the
prevention and treatment of diabetes in AI/AN communities are urgently
needed.
In response to the burgeoning diabetes epidemic among AI/AN people,
Congress established the SDPI through the Balanced Budget Act of 1997.
SDPI is a $150 million per year program that provides grants for
diabetes treatment and prevention services. SDPI is administered by
IHS, with programmatic oversight provided by the IHS Division of
Diabetes Treatment and Prevention (Division of Diabetes).
Over 330 programs have received SDPI Community-Directed grants
annually since 1998. A Congressional re-authorization in 2015 extended
SDPI through FY 2017.

Purpose

The purpose of this IHS cooperative agreement is to provide
diabetes treatment and/or prevention activities and/or services (also
referred to as ``activities/services'') for AI/AN communities. Grantees
will implement one SDPI Diabetes Best Practice (also referred to as
``Best Practice'') and report data on its Required Key Measure.
Grantees may also implement other activities/services based on
diabetes-related community needs and develop an evaluation plan.
Activities/services will be aimed at reducing the risk of diabetes in
at-risk individuals, providing high quality care to those with
diagnosed diabetes, and/or reducing the complications of diabetes.

II. Award Information

Type of Award

Cooperative Agreement.

Estimated Funds Available

The total amount of funding identified for fiscal year (FY) 2016 is
approximately $130.2 million. Individual award amounts are anticipated
to be between $12,500 and $6.5 million with an average award amount of
approximately $300,000.
The funding formula which determines the funds available to each
IHS area has been determined through Tribal consultation. Within each
area, grantee Tribes provide input on the formula which determines the
amount of funding available for each successful applicant.
Current SDPI Community-Directed grantees should budget for
the same amount as they received in FY 2015. However, funding amounts
may change. See the paragraph below for additional information.
New SDPI Community-Directed grant applicants should apply
for a $12,500 base amount.
The amount of funding available for competing and continuation
awards issued under this announcement are subject to the availability
of appropriations and budgetary priorities of the Agency. The IHS is
under no obligation to make awards that are selected for funding under
this announcement.

Anticipated Number of Awards

Approximately 325-450 awards will be issued under this program
announcement.

Project Period

January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2020.

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 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.

2. Review and Selection

Each application will be prescreened by DGM staff for eligibility
and completeness as outlined in the funding announcement. Applications
that meet the eligibility criteria shall be reviewed for merit by the
ORC based on evaluation criteria in this funding announcement. The ORC
could be composed of both Tribal and Federal reviewers appointed by the
IHS program to review and make recommendations on these applications.
The technical review process ensures selection of quality projects in a
national competition for limited funding. Incomplete applications and
applications that are non-responsive to the eligibility criteria will
not be referred to the ORC. The applicant will be notified via email of
this decision by the Grants Management Officer of the DGM. Applicants
may be notified by DGM, via email, to provide minor missing components
(e.g., fiscal audit documentation, key contact form) needed for an
otherwise complete application. All missing documents must be sent to
DGM on or before the due date listed in the email of notification of
missing documents required.
To obtain a minimum score for funding by the ORC, applicants must
address all program requirements and provide all required
documentation.

VI. Award Administration Information

1. Award Notices

The Notice of Award (NoA) is a legally binding document signed by
the grants management officer and serves as the official notification
of the grant award. The NoA will be initiated by the DGM in the
following grant system, GrantSolutions (https://www.grantsolutions.gov). Each entity that is approved for funding under
this announcement will need to request or have a user account in
GrantSolutions in order to retrieve their NoA. The NoA is the
authorizing document for which funds are dispersed to the approved
entities and reflects the amount of Federal funds awarded, the purpose
of the grant, the terms and conditions of the award, the effective date
of the award, and the budget/project period.
Disapproved Applicants
Applicants who receive a score less than the recommended funding
level for approval, (60 points), and are deemed to be disapproved by
the ORC, will receive an Executive Summary Statement from the IHS
program office within 30 days of the conclusion of the ORC outlining
the strengths and weaknesses of the application submitted. The IHS
program office will also provide additional contact information as
needed to address questions and concerns.

[[Page 46295]]

Approved But Unfunded Applicants
Approved but unfunded applicants that met the minimum scoring range
and were deemed by the ORC to be ``Approved.'' but were not funded due
to lack of funding, will have their applications held by DGM for a
period of one year. If additional funding becomes available during the
course of FY 2016, the approved but unfunded application may be re-
considered by the awarding program office for possible funding. The
applicant will also receive an Executive Summary Statement from the IHS
program office within 30 days of the conclusion of the ORC.
Note: Any correspondence other than the official NoA signed by an
IHS grants management official announcing to the project director that
an award has been made to their organization is not an authorization to
implement their program on behalf of IHS.

2. Administrative Requirements

Cooperative agreements are administered in accordance with the
following regulations, policies, and OMB cost principles:
A. The criteria as outlined in this program announcement.
B. Administrative Regulations for Grants:

3. Indirect Costs

This section applies to all grant recipients that request
reimbursement of indirect costs (IDC) in their grant application. In
accordance with HHS Grants Policy Statement, Part II-27, IHS requires
applicants to obtain a current IDC rate agreement prior to award. The
rate agreement must be prepared in accordance with the applicable cost
principles and guidance as provided by the cognizant agency or office.
A current rate covers the applicable grant activities/services under
the current award's budget period. If the current rate is not on file
with the DGM at the time of award, the IDC portion of the budget will
be restricted. The restrictions remain in place until the current rate
is provided to the DGM.
Generally, IDC rates for IHS grantees are negotiated with the
Division of Cost Allocation (DCA) https://rates.psc.gov/ and the
Department of Interior (Interior Business Center) http://www.doi.gov/ibc/services/Indirect_Cost_Services/index.cfm. For questions regarding
the indirect cost policy, please call the GMS listed under ``Agency
Contacts'' or the main DGM office at (301) 443-5204.

4. Reporting Requirements

The grantee must submit required reports consistent with the
applicable deadlines. Failure to submit required reports within the
time allowed may result in suspension or termination of an active
grant, withholding of additional awards for the project, or other
enforcement actions such as withholding of payments or converting to
the reimbursement method of payment. Continued failure to submit
required reports may result in one or both of the following: (1) The
imposition of special award provisions; and (2) the non-funding or non-
award of other eligible projects or activities/services. This
requirement applies whether the delinquency is attributable to the
failure of the grantee organization or the individual responsible for
preparation of the reports. Reports must be submitted electronically
via GrantSolutions. Personnel responsible for submitting reports will
be required to obtain a login and password for GrantSolutions. Please
see the Agency Contacts list in section VII for the systems contact
