Tribal Injury Prevention Cooperative Agreement Program
Grant Opportunity Analysis
The Indian Health Service (IHS) is offering funding through the Tribal Injury Prevention Cooperative Agreement Program to enhance injury and violence prevention efforts within American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities. This program aims to address the significant disparities in injury rates among these populations by providing financial support for two distinct initiatives: hiring a full-time injury prevention coordinator for communities with a minimum of 2,500 IHS users, and developing innovative injury prevention projects without a population requirement. A total of $3 million is available for this program, with an expected issuance of 22 to 30 awards, and applications are due by November 13, 2025. Interested applicants must register with SAM.gov and Grants.gov, and can reach out to the Division of Grants Management at DGM@ihs.gov for further information.
