Opportunity Summary:
The Injury Prevention Program for American Indians and Alaska Natives is a discretionary funding opportunity from the Indian Health Service (IHS) designed to strengthen injury prevention capacity in Tribal communities. The main goal is to help Tribes, Tribal organizations, and Urban Indian organizations develop, operate, and sustain effective injury prevention programs that are locally owned and managed. The announcement emphasizes that when injury prevention efforts are led at the community level, they tend to do three things better: build a clearer understanding of the community's injury burden and risk factors, put proven prevention strategies into practice in ways that fit local needs, and strengthen partnerships that support long-term prevention work.
This opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning recipients should expect an active federal role beyond a typical grant, often including collaboration, guidance, and coordination with IHS program staff as the work is carried out. The funding does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which can lower barriers for smaller organizations that may not have additional resources to contribute.
Applicants must choose one of two application tracks, and IHS will make only one award per applicant under either track. Part I, titled Injury Prevention Programs, is intended for new applicants that have not previously received IHS Tribal Injury Prevention Cooperative Agreement Part I funding. A key eligibility condition for Part I is a minimum IHS user population of 2,500. For this program, IHS user population is defined as American Indian/Alaska Native individuals who have used IHS-funded services at least once within the past three years. This track is aimed at building foundational program capacity, typically supporting the development or strengthening of a broader injury prevention program within an eligible community or service population.
Part II, titled IPP Effective Strategy Projects, is open to any eligible applicant, including those that may have received prior IHS Injury Prevention funding under Part I or Part II. Unlike Part I, Part II has no minimum IHS user population requirement. This track is structured for applicants that want to focus on implementing specific evidence-based or effective injury prevention strategies, rather than building an overall program from the ground up. The announcement notes that applicants should make sure their application addresses the appropriate review criteria listed in Section V of the full funding opportunity announcement, which is especially important because the expectations for Part I and Part II are different.
Eligibility is limited to three types of entities as defined in federal law (25 U.S.C. 1603): Indian Tribes, Tribal organizations, and Urban Indian organizations. In addition, applicants must submit proof of nonprofit status with the application, such as documentation of 501(c)(3) status. The eligible applicant categories include federally recognized Tribal governments, Native American tribal organizations other than federally recognized governments, and Urban Indian organizations.
In terms of funding scale, IHS estimated a total of $1,800,000 available under this announcement, with an expectation of about 30 awards. Individual award amounts range from a floor of $20,000 to a ceiling of $100,000. The program is listed under CFDA 93.284 (Injury Prevention Program for American Indians and Alaska Natives). The opportunity was posted on April 20, 2015, with applications due by 11:59 PM on June 15, 2015 (the original closing date was listed as June 16, 2015, but the current closing date is June 15, 2015). The funding opportunity number is HHS-2015-IHS-IPP-0001.
