Deadlines April 16, 2010
Purpose The purpose of the Planning Cooperative Agreement is to provide resources to Tribes interested in participating in the Tribal Self- Governance Program (TSGP), as authorized by Public Law 106-260, the Tribal Self-Governance Amendments of 2000, and Title V of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act, Public Law 93-638, as amended (Title V) (25 U.S.C. 458aaa-2(e)). The Planning Cooperative Agreement enables a Tribe to gather information on the current types of programs, services, functions, and activities (PSFAs) and related funding available at the Service Unit, Area, and Headquarters levels as well as determine the organizational preparation related to the administration of health programs.

Indian Tribes that have completed comparable health planning activities in previous years using Tribal resources are not required to receive a Self-Governance Planning Cooperative Agreement to be eligible to participate in the TSGP. The receipt of a Planning Cooperative Agreement award is not a prerequisite to enter the TSGP.

Eligibility The Tribes eligible to compete for the Planning Cooperative Agreements include: Any Federally recognized Indian Tribe that has not previously received a Planning Cooperative Agreement; Federally recognized Indian Tribes that have previously received Planning Cooperative Agreements but chose not to enter the TSGP; and those Federally recognized Indian Tribes that received a Planning Cooperative Agreement, entered the TSGP, and would like to plan for the assumption of new and expanded programs. Tribes are also eligible to apply for and receive a Negotiation Cooperative Agreement within the same grant cycle contingent upon completion of planning activities.
