Special Diabetes Program for Indians, Community Directed | HS H1D1I 24 001

Opportunity Information: Apply for HS H1D1I 24 001

The Special Diabetes Program for Indians (SDPI), Community Directed opportunity is a discretionary federal health grant offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Indian Health Service (IHS). It is designed to support American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities by funding practical, community-driven diabetes prevention and treatment work. The overall intent is to lower diabetes risk among people who are at risk, improve the quality of care for people already diagnosed with diabetes, and reduce diabetes-related complications through evidence-based approaches and locally tailored services.

This award is issued as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the funder expects to have an ongoing programmatic relationship with recipients (for example, providing guidance, technical assistance, or collaboration during implementation) rather than simply issuing funds with minimal involvement. Recipients are expected to implement one SDPI Diabetes Best Practice, which is an established, evidence-informed intervention approach recognized by SDPI. A central requirement is reporting data tied to that Best Practice's Required Key Measure (RKM), meaning the program places strong emphasis on measurable outcomes and consistent performance tracking. In addition to the required Best Practice, recipients may also carry out other diabetes-related activities and services that respond to their community's specific needs, and they are expected to develop an evaluation plan to assess effectiveness and results.

The opportunity supports a wide range of diabetes-focused services as long as they align with the program goals. That can include prevention programming for people with prediabetes or other risk factors, clinical or care-coordination efforts to strengthen diabetes management, education and lifestyle interventions, screening and referral supports, and strategies aimed at preventing or reducing complications such as kidney disease, vision problems, cardiovascular issues, and neuropathy. The structure of the program is meant to balance standardization (through the required Best Practice and key measure reporting) with flexibility (through optional additional services shaped by local conditions).

Eligible applicants include federally recognized Native American tribal governments, Native American tribal organizations (including those other than federally recognized tribal governments), and certain nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The listing also includes an "Others" category with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement, which suggests there may be specific additional eligible entity types or conditions described in the complete funding notice.

Key funding details provided in the notice include an award ceiling of $600,000 and an anticipated 15 awards. The funding opportunity number is HS H1D1I 24 001, and the CFDA number is 93.237. The opportunity was created on October 23, 2023, with an original closing date of November 29, 2023. Overall, this grant is structured to help AI/AN communities expand or strengthen diabetes programs using a proven Best Practice framework while still allowing recipients to address local diabetes priorities through additional community-selected services and evaluation.
