Grants Management Specialists

SASP Tribal and Urban awardees ("grantees") who received their funds as "grant funds" have an assigned Grants Management Specialist (GMS) in the IHS Division of Grants Management (DGM). The assigned GMS provides Technical Assistance (TA) on the management and administration of IHS grants. TA provided by the GMS includes information regarding the project's official Notice of Award (NoA), grant policies and procedures, cost principles, allowable and unallowable costs, direct costs, information on the GrantSolutions system, and carryover requests.

If you are a SASP Tribal or Urban grantee and need TA on any of the topics above, please see contact information below for your assigned GMS. Please note that each GMS is assigned to specific SASP program areas.
