The TMG Program was established to help T/TOs prepare for assuming all or part of existing IHS programs, functions, services, and activities (PFSAs) and further develop and improve Tribal health management capabilities.

The purpose of this program is to:
- Enhance and develop health management infrastructure.
- Help T/TOs in assuming all or part of existing IHS PFSAs through a title I ISDEAA contract.
- Help established title I ISDEAA contractors and title V ISDEAA compactors to further develop and improve management capability.
Project TYPES
The TMG Program consists of 4 project types:
- Feasibility study (Maximum funding/project period: $70,000/12 months)
- A feasibility study must include a study of a specific IHS program or segment of a program to determine if Tribal management of the program is possible. The study shall present the planned approach, training, and resources required to assume Tribal management of the program.
- Planning (Maximum funding/project period: $50,000/12 months)
- Planning projects involve data collection to establish goals and performance measures for health programs operation or anticipated PFSAs under a title I contract.
- Evaluation study (Maximum funding/project period: $50,000/12 months)
- An evaluation study must include a systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of data for the purpose of determining the impact of a program.
- Health management structure (Average funding/project period: $100,000/12 months; maximum funding/project period: $300,000/36 months)
