Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2018 ACF ANA NB 1343
The Native American Language Preservation and Maintenance - Esther Martinez Immersion (EMI) program is a federal discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Administration for Children and Families, Administration for Native Americans (ANA). For Fiscal Year 2018, the program made funding available for community-based language revitalization efforts that strengthen and sustain Native American languages by using immersion as the core method of instruction. The overall purpose is to support projects that keep Native languages alive as everyday living languages, especially among children and youth, by creating learning environments where the language is used consistently and intensively rather than taught only as a subject for a short period.
To qualify, funded projects must operate as one of two immersion models established under the Esther Martinez Native American Languages Preservation Act (42 U.S.C. 2991b-3(b)(7), Public Law 109-394). The first model is a Native American Language Nest, defined as a site-based educational program that provides child care and instruction in a Native American language for at least 10 children under age seven, with an average of at least 500 hours of immersion instruction per child. In practice, this model is aimed at early childhood, creating an environment similar to preschool or daycare where the Native language is the primary language used for communication, routines, and learning. The second model is a Native American Survival School, defined as a site-based educational program for school-aged students that provides at least 500 hours per year per student of Native American language instruction to at least 15 students. This model focuses on older children and typically resembles an immersion school or structured after-school or weekend program that provides substantial annual instructional time in the language.
Eligibility for this opportunity is broad within the Native community-serving space. Eligible applicants include federally recognized Native American tribal governments, Native American tribal organizations (including those other than federally recognized tribal governments), and nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education). The listing also includes an "Others" category with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement. The program sits within the CFDA number 93.587 and is categorized under Income Security and Social Services, reflecting ANA's role in supporting community strength and cultural continuity as part of broader social well-being.
For this 2018 competition, the maximum award amount listed was $300,000, and the agency anticipated making about 7 awards. The funding instrument is a grant. The opportunity was created on February 6, 2018, with an original application closing date of April 9, 2018. Applications submitted electronically were required to be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The funding opportunity number associated with this announcement is HHS 2018 ACF ANA NB 1343.
In short, this grant opportunity was designed to help Native communities run high-intensity, site-based immersion programs that meet specific participation and instructional-hour thresholds, either for very young children through Language Nests or for school-aged students through Survival Schools, with the larger goal of restoring and maintaining Native languages through everyday use and sustained instruction.Apply for HHS 2018 ACF ANA NB 1343
