Opportunity Summary:
The Healthy Lifestyles in Youth Project is a discretionary health-focused cooperative agreement offered by the Indian Health Service (IHS) to support ongoing work that helps American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) youth build healthier day-to-day habits. The opportunity is structured as a single-source competing continuation award intended specifically to continue implementation through the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI), in partnership with selected Native American Boys and Girls Clubs of America sites. At its core, the project uses the Together Raising Awareness for Indian Life (TRAIL) curriculum to deliver culturally relevant education and activities that encourage healthy lifestyle development.
The program targets children and youth ages 6 through 17 and puts primary emphasis on two major drivers of long-term health: nutrition and physical activity. The long-range purpose is prevention oriented, aiming to prevent or delay obesity and related chronic diseases, particularly type 2 diabetes, by promoting consistent healthy behaviors early in life. Rather than focusing on clinical treatment, the project is framed as a community-based youth development and health promotion effort delivered in familiar, youth-centered settings such as Boys and Girls Clubs.
Within participating club sites, NCAI is expected to continue hands-on collaboration to provide health and physical education programming and to support youth participation in structured fitness activities. The project also emphasizes skill-building, helping youth develop a broad set of physical skills alongside social development outcomes. Teamwork and cooperation are explicitly named goals, reflecting an approach that connects physical health with confidence, peer support, and positive group experiences that can make healthy routines more sustainable.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2012-IHS-HLY-0001 and is associated with CFDA 93.933 (Demonstration Projects for Indian Health). IHS anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,000,000 and both the award floor and ceiling set at $1,000,000, indicating a single fixed-size award for the funding period. The instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically means IHS expects substantial involvement in the project’s direction, oversight, or coordination compared to a standard grant. No cost sharing or matching is required.
Eligibility is listed for certain nonprofit and tribal organization categories, including nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) and Native American tribal organizations other than federally recognized tribal governments. However, the announcement states IHS is proposing a single-source continuation with NCAI, meaning the practical intent is to fund that specific organization to keep the existing initiative operating at selected club sites. Key dates show the opportunity was posted July 16, 2012, with an application closing date of August 16, 2012, and an archive date of September 15, 2012. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact was Paul Gettys, Grant Systems Coordinator at IHS (phone 301-443-2114).
