Opportunity Information: Apply for HS U1B2I 24 001
The Native Public Health Resilience grant (Funding Opportunity Number: HS U1B2I 24 001) is a discretionary Indian Health Service (IHS) funding opportunity designed to strengthen public health capacity in Indian Country. At its core, the program aims to help Tribes, Tribal organizations, and Urban Indian Organizations build and sustain the foundational systems needed to carry out core public health functions, expand access to public health services, and improve overall public health management capabilities. The larger intent aligns with the IHS mission to raise the physical, mental, social, and spiritual health of American Indians and Alaska Natives, with a strong emphasis on community resilience and equitable access to effective public health infrastructure.
A central feature of this opportunity is its explicit alignment with the 10 Essential Public Health Services (EPHS), a long-standing national framework that outlines what public health agencies and systems should be able to do to protect and improve community health. The EPHS framework has guided public health practice since 1994 and was updated in 2020 to place a clearer focus on equity and on meeting current and emerging public health needs. Examples of EPHS activities highlighted in the notice include monitoring community health status to identify and solve health problems and diagnosing and investigating health problems and hazards. In practice, this grant is meant to help eligible organizations develop the people, systems, policies, partnerships, and data capacity required to reliably deliver these kinds of essential services, not just during emergencies but as part of ongoing public health operations.
Eligibility is limited to specific Native-serving entities defined in federal law (25 U.S.C. 1603). Applicants may be a federally recognized Indian Tribe, which includes eligible Alaska Native villages or groups and certain Alaska Native corporations recognized for federal Indian programs and services. Applicants may also be a Tribal organization as defined under the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act, meaning a Tribe's recognized governing body or a legally established Indian organization that is controlled, sanctioned, chartered, or democratically elected by the Indian community it serves, with broad Indian participation in its activities. If a Tribal organization proposes to serve more than one Tribe, each Tribe to be served must approve, and the application must include letters of support and/or Tribal Resolutions. Urban Indian Organizations are also eligible if they meet the statutory definition: a nonprofit corporate body located in an urban center, governed by an Urban Indian-controlled board, structured to ensure maximum participation of interested Indian groups and individuals, and capable of cooperating legally with other entities to carry out Urban Indian health activities. Urban Indian applicants must provide proof of nonprofit status (such as 501(c)(3) documentation) and, if funded, must limit services under the award to eligible Urban Indians living within the urban center where the organization is situated.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this opportunity is offered as a grant under CFDA 93.231, within the Health funding activity category. The award ceiling is $400,000, and IHS anticipates making about 15 awards. The opportunity was created on March 27, 2024, and the original application closing date was May 14, 2024. Overall, the program is best understood as an investment in public health infrastructure and capability: strengthening the practical, day-to-day capacity of Native-serving public health entities to plan, manage, and deliver essential public health services in ways that are sustainable, resilient, and equity-centered.Apply for HS U1B2I 24 001
