How to Apply
Application Procedure
For a Self-Determination Contract (or Grant), applications are filed in accordance with 25 CFR Part 900 “Contracts under the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act.”
Award Procedure
Although eligible applicants do not compete for awards, an award to a particular entity is not mandatory because requirements related to the scope of the project work, project cost, and other compliance measurements must be agreed to before funding is provided to the recipient. Projects representing the greatest needs at detention and related facilities are prioritized as part of the process of obtaining Congressional appropriations to fund the projects. Funds must be appropriated before any project awards can be made, and a change in priorities may require Congressional consultation and, for some projects above a certain dollar amount, Congressional approval of the reprogramming of funding to a different project. The award of a self-determination contract is made in accordance with the procedures contained in 25 CFR Part 900 “Contracts under the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act.”
Applications will be processed within 90 days for Self-Determination Contracts.
