Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a discretionary grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), administered by the Indian Health Service (IHS) through its Division of Behavioral Health within the Office of Clinical and Preventive Services. The program is part of the Methamphetamine and Suicide Prevention Initiative (MSPI) and specifically supports the Generation Indigenous (Gen-I) Initiative under MSPI Purpose Area #4. The central aim is aligned with MSPI goal #6: strengthening positive development for American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) youth while increasing meaningful family engagement. The intent is to support early intervention approaches that lower risk factors linked to suicidal behavior and substance misuse, with an emphasis on prevention and resilience-building rather than crisis-only responses.
The grant focuses on implementing strategies that encourage healthy youth development and reinforce protective family and community connections. In practical terms, applicants are expected to design and run early intervention activities that can reduce pathways into substance abuse and suicidal behavior among AI/AN youth. While the notice does not list specific required interventions in the provided excerpt, the framing strongly indicates that competitive projects would be those that can show a clear prevention logic: identifying priority risk factors in the local context, applying culturally grounded or evidence-informed early intervention methods, and building supportive systems around youth through families, caregivers, and community networks. The Gen-I emphasis also signals a youth-centered approach, likely prioritizing programs that elevate youth strengths, identity, belonging, and engagement in positive activities and support structures.
Eligible applicants include federally recognized Native American tribal governments, Native American tribal organizations (including those other than federally recognized tribal governments), and additional eligible entities as referenced in the original announcement's eligibility clarification text. The funding is cataloged under CFDA 93.933, which corresponds to IHS behavioral health-related assistance. The opportunity number is HHS-2016-IHS-MSPI-0001, and it was originally posted on June 30, 2016, with an original closing date of August 1, 2016. Awards under this competition had a stated ceiling of $300,000 per award, and IHS anticipated making approximately 25 awards, indicating a moderately competitive national program aimed at supporting multiple communities and program models rather than a small number of large-scale awards.
Overall, this opportunity is designed to help tribal communities and tribal organizations expand or strengthen upstream prevention work for youth suicide and substance misuse, using early intervention and family engagement as core levers. The program sits within a broader federal effort to address methamphetamine impacts and suicide risk in AI/AN communities, and the Gen-I component highlights the expectation that projects will be tailored to youth needs and community realities, with culturally appropriate prevention strategies that build long-term protective factors.
