Opportunity Summary:
The Indian Health Service (IHS) is offering a competitive cooperative agreement called Health Promotion and Disease Prevention (HP/DP), listed under CFDA 93.443. The program is grounded in federal authorities that include the Public Health Service Act (section 301(a)), the Snyder Act, the Transfer Act, and the Indian Health Care Improvement Act. At its core, the opportunity is meant to help American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities strengthen and expand practical, community-driven approaches to health promotion and chronic disease prevention. The emphasis is on reducing health disparities by supporting programs that increase physical activity, improve nutrition, and prevent or reduce commercial tobacco and alcohol use through coordinated efforts in community settings such as schools, clinics, and worksites.
The initiative aligns with the broader U.S. Department of Health and Human Services direction set through Healthy People 2010, particularly in the area of education and community-based programs. IHS frames this grant around the reality that heart disease, cancer, and unintentional injuries remain leading causes of illness and death in many AI/AN communities, and that these outcomes are often tied to modifiable behavioral risks like sedentary lifestyles, poor diet, tobacco use, and alcohol misuse. The announcement highlights the scale of obesity concerns using IHS Clinical Reporting System data, noting that more than 80 percent of adults are overweight or obese and about 49 percent of children ages 6 to 11 are overweight or obese. It also underscores tobacco as a major preventable cause of death and connects alcohol use with injuries and serious social and health harms, especially for youth.
Program priorities concentrate on a few major health threats and related behaviors. The HP/DP initiative specifically targets cardiovascular disease, cancer, obesity, and underage drinking, with strong attention to prevention and early intervention. Obesity prevention is described in practical terms, including increasing fruit and vegetable consumption, reducing high-fat foods, promoting breastfeeding, reducing screen time, and expanding real opportunities for physical activity. Tobacco-related goals include preventing youth initiation, increasing access to cessation supports, adopting tobacco-free policies in clinics and workplaces, and reducing exposure to secondhand smoke. Alcohol strategies include reducing underage drinking and addressing related injuries and harms, with room for approaches that also reduce chronic disease and unintentional injuries associated with alcohol and substance use.
A central expectation is that funded communities use evidence-based or proven public health strategies and build comprehensive intervention plans grounded in local data. Applicants are encouraged to assess their own chronic disease burden, identify priority populations and key risk factors, map current services and gaps, and connect proposed work to Tribal and IHS strategic plans and existing partnership capacity. The announcement points to data sources such as the IHS Resource and Patient Management System (RPMS), GPRA measures, the Clinical Registry System, diabetes registries, hospital and clinic records, WIC data, school data, behavioral risk surveys, and other community health information. In terms of implementation, IHS promotes approaches like policy and environmental changes (for example, healthier food options in vending machines or at school fundraisers, or safer walking trails), system improvements, public education and media campaigns, community training and capacity building, school curricula, and education for health care providers to strengthen evidence-based clinical preventive practices.
The opportunity is designed to be community-wide and collaborative rather than isolated within a single program or department. Tribal applicants are encouraged to actively involve schools, health care providers and health centers, faith-based and spiritual communities, elders programs, youth programs, local government, Tribal colleges or other academic partners, nonprofits, and other community sectors. The cooperative agreement structure also signals that IHS may have an active role in the partnership beyond simply issuing funds, consistent with how cooperative agreements typically operate under federal grantmaking.
Funding details in the announcement indicate an expected total of 11 awards, with an award floor and ceiling both listed as $100,000 (suggesting a fixed award amount per recipient for that cycle). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding opportunity number is HHS-2009-IHS-HPDP-0001, with the original and current closing date shown as July 17, 2009 (and an archive date of August 16, 2009), meaning this specific posting is historical, though it still reflects the structure and priorities IHS used for this initiative. Eligibility is limited to certain AI/AN entities as defined in 25 U.S.C. 1603, including federally recognized Indian Tribes, Tribal organizations, and Urban Indian organizations; Urban Indian organizations are required to provide proof of nonprofit status (such as 501(c)(3)) with the application.
