Opportunity Summary:
The Methamphetamine Suicide Prevention Initiative for American Indian and Alaska Native Urban Programs (often referred to as MSPI-U) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the Indian Health Service (IHS) designed to strengthen and expand community-level prevention and treatment efforts focused on methamphetamine use and suicide in urban American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities. Authorized under the Snyder Act (25 U.S.C. 13) and provisions of the Indian Health Care Improvement Act (25 U.S.C. 1602(a)(b)(9)(11)(12)), the program sits within CFDA 93.933 (Demonstration Projects for Indian Health). The central goal is to improve access in urban AI/AN settings to effective programs that prevent or treat methamphetamine use and/or suicidal behavior, with an emphasis on approaches that are evidence-based or practice-based and on strategies that mobilize communities to address these issues in a coordinated way.
Funding is offered through a competitive process, with IHS expecting to make 11 awards. The estimated total funding available under this announcement is $2,206,000, and each award is fixed at $100,000 (both the ceiling and the floor are $100,000). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. As a health-focused grant program, funded projects are intended to directly support prevention, treatment, and related community engagement activities that respond to methamphetamine and suicide risks in urban AI/AN communities, including enhancing existing services or implementing structured prevention/treatment models that have demonstrated effectiveness or strong practice support.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit Urban Indian Organizations as defined by 25 U.S.C. 1603(h). The announcement explains that this limitation is intentional because these organizations are considered to have the specialized knowledge, experience, and capacity to work effectively within urban AI/AN communities and to carry out the required activities.
