Opportunity Summary:
The Center for Indigenous Innovation and Health (CIIH) funding opportunity (MP CPI 26 002) is a discretionary federal grant program offered through the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health. It will make up to four awards using a cooperative agreement mechanism, which generally means recipients should expect an ongoing, collaborative relationship with the federal project team during planning, implementation, and reporting. The program is designed to back practical, community-rooted work that reduces chronic disease burden and closes health care access gaps affecting Indigenous communities, specifically American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) and Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) populations.
At its core, CIIH is looking for projects that blend evidence-based frameworks with community-based strategies to prevent and improve chronic disease outcomes. The solicitation highlights obesity, hypertension, and diabetes, along with related conditions, as priority targets. Funded efforts can include research activities, education and training, direct services, partnership development, and technical assistance. The emphasis is not just on producing information, but on implementing approaches that are already supported by evidence and adapting them in culturally grounded ways so they work in real-world Indigenous settings.
A key structural requirement is that each funded project should concentrate on one Indigenous population of focus rather than trying to cover multiple populations at once. That focus is meant to support depth, sustained engagement, and more measurable health impact. Strong applications will typically show how the proposed strategies will be delivered in partnership with the community, how they will be tailored to cultural and local context, and how the project will track progress on both health outcomes and access-related barriers (for example, availability of preventive care, screening, care navigation, workforce capacity, or other factors driving gaps in care).
Eligibility is broad, as long as the applicant is a public entity or a private nonprofit located in an eligible U.S. jurisdiction. Eligible jurisdictions include the 50 states, Washington, DC, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, and several Freely Associated States and territories listed in the notice: the Republic of Palau, the Federated States of Micronesia, and the Republic of the Marshall Islands. Eligible applicant types include state, county, and local governments; special districts; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; federally recognized Tribal governments; Tribal organizations (including those not classified as federally recognized Tribal governments); public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; and nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education when the nonprofit category is specified separately). The notice also makes clear that faith-based organizations are eligible if they meet the public or nonprofit requirement, and that public or nonprofit community-based organizations and nonprofit private institutions of higher education may apply.
Financially, the maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $1,000,000 per award, and the agency anticipates making four awards. The opportunity falls under CFDA 93.137 (Health). The application deadline listed is July 15, 2026. Overall, CIIH is positioned for organizations that can demonstrate trusted community partnerships, culturally responsive implementation capacity, and a clear plan for applying proven chronic disease prevention and management strategies in ways that improve outcomes and reduce access gaps for a specific Indigenous population.
