Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2024 IHS SEM 0001
The Indian Health Service (IHS) is offering a discretionary cooperative agreement called "Increasing the Representation of American Indians and Alaska Natives in Sanitation and Engineering Management" (Funding Opportunity Number: HHS 2024 IHS SEM 0001; CFDA 93.445). The program is designed to increase the representation of American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) people in STEM by shining a spotlight on applied public health career paths that tend to get far less attention than more widely promoted STEM fields. The core idea is that many students and early-career professionals may not realize that sanitation and engineering roles are essential STEM pathways with direct, day-to-day impacts on community health, especially in Tribal communities and Indian Country.
A main focus of the opportunity is raising visibility and awareness of sanitation and engineering as foundational public health professions. The program frames these roles as critical to preventing disease and supporting safe living and care environments through the planning, construction, operation, and maintenance of sanitary infrastructure. That includes ensuring safe water and wastewater systems, maintaining sanitary conditions in homes, and supporting health care facilities so that clinics and hospitals can operate safely. In other words, the grant emphasizes that public health is not only about clinical services and health education, but also about the built environment and the engineering systems that make healthy communities possible.
The opportunity specifically points to career tracks within the IHS Office of Environmental Health and Engineering (OEHE) as examples of the kinds of occupations the program aims to promote. These include civil and environmental (sanitation) engineering, general (health facility) engineering, and environmental health (sanitarian) professions. Collectively, the announcement refers to these roles as "sanitation and engineering." The intention is to help students and prospective applicants understand what these jobs are, why they matter, and what educational routes and student opportunities can lead into them, including the benefits that come with entering these fields.
This is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, meaning the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement with the awardee during the project period. The notice identifies the American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES) as the sole source organization for this award. In practical terms, that means the funding is intended to be awarded to AISES rather than being competed broadly among multiple applicants. The announcement justifies this selection by describing AISES as a long-standing 501(c)(3) nonprofit public charity with deep reach in Indian Country and a strong track record of building STEM pathways for AI/AN students and professionals. It highlights that AISES has a 100 percent American Indian membership base and Board of Directors, and that its network includes more than 7,000 individual student and professional members, along with extensive chapter infrastructure: 248 pre-college chapters, 199 college chapters, 20 professional chapters, and 3 Tribal chapters. That national footprint is presented as a key reason AISES is positioned to effectively increase awareness, visibility, and participation in these specialized applied public health STEM fields.
Key administrative details include an original closing date of July 10, 2024, and an anticipated single award (Expected Awards: 1). The award ceiling is listed as $30,000. The eligible applicant category is described as "Others," but the sole-source identification of AISES clarifies who the intended recipient is for this particular cooperative agreement. Overall, the opportunity is structured around a straightforward goal: strengthen AI/AN representation in less-recognized but highly impactful public health STEM careers by using an established AI/AN-led STEM organization to connect students and communities to sanitation and engineering educational and occupational pathways.Apply for HHS 2024 IHS SEM 0001
