## Summary

**This bill would extend federal public health cooperative agreements to put Indian Tribes, Tribal organizations, and urban Indian organizations on equal footing with states and localities by creating a dedicated tribal funding track.** It would set minimum tribal awards, remove matching requirements for tribal grants, and require consultation and reporting tied to the Indian Health Service. - Tribes and urban Indian organizations would become explicitly eligible and could receive awards through a new tribal track that requires at least 10 cooperative agreements and disallows matching requirements. - The bill would authorize $750 million per year for FY2027–2029 for awards under the program, and would reserve at least 5% of each year’s funding for tribal-track awards with funds available until expended. - The Secretary must consult with Indian Tribes when setting criteria, allow tailored waivers and alternative requirements for tribal delivery, and deliver a detailed report within 2 years coordinated with the Indian Health Service on awards, waivers, applicants, and infrastructure gaps. *This bill would authorize $750 million annually for FY2027–2029, totaling $2.25 billion in new authorized funding and thereby increase federal spending.*
