This NOFO aims to conduct diabetes surveillance across health system and/or health plan membership-based centers to: (1) Estimate incidence and prevalence of diabetes in youth (;lt; 18 years) and young adults (1844 years) in the United States. These estimates are sought by diabetes type, demographic traits, health insurance status, and geographic area to identify disparities in diabetes burden; and (2) Ascertain the prevalence of risk factors for diabetes complications, occurrence of acute and chronic diabetes complications, and use of diabetes medications among youth and young adults with diabetes. This NOFO has two (2) components to achieve the purpose of the program. Component A focuses on surveillance of diabetes among youth (;lt; 18 years) and young adults (1844 years). Component B serves as a Coordinating Center to provide an infrastructure for standardized approaches, analytical methods, and measures to be used for surveillance across sites. It will also develop validation protocols, serve as a data repository, and provide statistical expertise.

This funding opportunity is designed to establish a center that will coordinate and advance research on whole person health by integrating diverse biomedical knowledge and fostering collaboration among researchers.

The purpose of this Negotiation Cooperative Agreement is to provide Tribes with resources to help defray the costs associated with preparing for and engaging in TSGP negotiations. TSGP negotiations are a dynamic, evolving, and tribally driven process that requires careful planning, preparation, and sharing of precise, up-to-date information by both Tribal and Federal parties. Because each Tribal situation is unique, a Tribes successful transition into the TSGP, or expansion of their current program, requires focused discussions between the Federal and Tribal negotiation teams about the Tribes specific health care concerns and plans. One of the hallmarks of the TSGP is the collaborative nature of the negotiations process, which is designed to: 1) enable a Tribe to set its own priorities when assuming responsibility for IHS PSFAs; 2) observe and respect the government-to-government relationship between the U.S. and each Tribe; and 3) involve the active participation of both Tribal and IHS representatives, including the OTSG. Negotiations are a method of determining and agreeing upon the terms and provisions of a Tribes Compact and FA, the implementation documents required for the Tribe to enter into the TSGP. The Compact sets forth the general terms of the government-to-government relationship between the Tribe and the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The FA: 1) describes the length of the agreement (whether it will be annual or multi-year); 2) identifies the PSFAs, or portions thereof, the Tribe will assume; 3) specifies the amount of funding associated with the Tribal assumption; and 4) includes terms required by Federal statutes and other terms agreed to by the parties. Both documents are required to participate in the TSGP and they are mutually negotiated agreements that become legally binding and mutually enforceable after both parties sign the documents. Either document can be renegotiated at the request of the Tribe.
