Opportunity Summary:
The Methamphetamine Suicide Prevention Initiative for American Indian and Alaska Native Urban Programs (often referred to as MSPI U) is a competitive discretionary grant opportunity offered by the Indian Health Service (IHS) to strengthen and expand methamphetamine and suicide prevention and treatment services for American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) people living in urban communities. Backed by federal authority under the Snyder Act (25 U.S.C. 13) and the Indian Health Care Improvement Act (25 U.S.C. 1653(e)), this funding is positioned as a health-focused effort listed under CFDA 93.933 (Demonstration Projects for Indian Health). The core intent is to increase community-level access to effective services in urban AI/AN settings, recognizing that substance use and suicide risk require targeted, culturally grounded responses that are accessible where people live.
The program emphasizes expanding or enhancing interventions that are already known to work, specifically evidence-based or practice-based prevention and treatment programs addressing methamphetamine use and/or suicide. In addition to direct service approaches, MSPI U also supports community mobilization strategies, meaning initiatives that organize partners, build local capacity, and coordinate community action to prevent meth use and suicide and to strengthen treatment pathways. In practice, this framing allows applicants to propose projects that can include prevention education, screening and referral, clinical or community-based treatment supports, crisis response linkages, and broader collaborative models that align multiple local systems around shared goals, as long as the work clearly advances methamphetamine and/or suicide prevention and treatment in urban AI/AN communities.
Funding for this specific opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2010-IHS-METHU-0001) was estimated at $3,306,000 total, with an expected five awards. The award amount is structured as a fixed level per recipient, with both the ceiling and floor listed at $100,000, suggesting each award was intended to be $100,000. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for eligible organizations that may not have access to additional non-federal funds and helps ensure that resources can be focused on program delivery and community impact rather than fundraising to meet match thresholds.
Eligibility is limited to Urban Indian organizations that operate a Title V Urban Indian Health Program, including organizations currently funded through an IHS grant or contract under Title V of the Indian Health Care Improvement Act. This makes the opportunity specifically tailored to established urban Indian health entities that already serve AI/AN populations in urban areas and are positioned to integrate MSPI U resources into ongoing health, behavioral health, and community support structures.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted on December 2, 2009, with an application closing date of January 5, 2010, and an archive date of February 4, 2010. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity category is health, reflecting that the program is meant to directly support prevention and treatment capacity rather than research or purely planning efforts. Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to contact Tammy Bagley, Senior Grants Policy Analyst at IHS, at 301-443-7172.
