About this opportunity
The Indian Health Service (IHS) Injury Prevention Program is seeking cooperative agreement applications from federally recognized Tribal governments, Tribal organizations, and Urban Indian Organizations to address injury and violence disparities among American Indian and Alaska Native populations. The program offers two competitive funding parts: Part I provides up to $150,000 to hire a full-time injury prevention coordinator for Tribes with a minimum 2,500 IHS user population, while Part II offers up to $40,000 for developing injury prevention projects or innovative strategies. Applicants must develop a comprehensive five-year plan targeting specific injury types, including motor vehicle injuries, falls, poisoning, burns, drownings, firearm-related injuries, suicide, violence, and traumatic brain injuries. Evaluation criteria will focus on the applicant's capability to manage the project, soundness of the project plan, budget adequacy, and effectiveness in meeting program requirements. The application deadline is November 13, 2025, with an expected award date of January 1, 2026.
The total program funding is $3,000,000, with 22-30 total awards anticipated for the five-year performance period. Grant recipients will be expected to implement evidence-based and evidence-informed injury prevention strategies, create an evaluation plan, and participate in IHS training and collaborative activities. The program will support community-driven, culturally centered approaches to reducing injury rates in Tribal communities. Performance locations will span tribal reservations and community health centers across the United States. The cooperative agreements will be awarded under CFDA Number 93.284, with renewal contingent on annual continuation applications and subject to federal auditing procedures.
