Native Public Health Resilience

The Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service is funding Tribes, Tribal organizations, and Urban Indian Organizations to implement core public health functions and services under the Native Public Health Resilience program (CFDA 93.00P), with a new grant opportunity posted on September 10, 2026 (HHS-2027-IHS-NPHR-0001).

The program builds community resilience by expanding access to the 10 Essential Public Health Services in Indian Country, supporting recipients in strengthening their public health management capacity and infrastructure. Funded activities encompass the full range of essential public health services—from disease surveillance and environmental health to workforce development and community health assessment—rather than a narrow subset of services. The program targets Federally Recognized Tribal Governments, non-Federally Recognized Tribal Organizations, and Urban Indian Organizations as eligible applicants.

The most recently posted opportunity (HHS-2027-IHS-NPHR-0001) represents a new cohort of awards. No information on assistance-type distribution, award economics, typical award magnitudes, or recent closed opportunities is available in the source material. Similarly, no data on historical award volume, funding concentration among sub-offices within IHS, or the cadence of prior funding cycles is provided.

Merit review governs award selection. As described in the Notice of Funding Opportunity, recipients must comply with federal audit requirements and applicable 2 CFR grant policies. Interested applicants should contact the program point of contact at dgm@ihs.gov for application guidance. The source provides no information on application deadlines, anticipated funding amounts, or the number of awards expected in this cohort.
