Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2024 IHS COIPP 0001

The Community Opioid Intervention Prevention Program (COIPP) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the Indian Health Service (IHS) designed to help American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities respond to the ongoing opioid crisis. The program focuses on strengthening local, community-driven approaches that prevent opioid misuse, expand access to effective treatment for opioid use disorder, support long-term recovery, and reduce overdose harms. In practical terms, COIPP is meant to help Tribal and Urban Indian communities build out or scale up opioid-related services in ways that fit local culture, community priorities, and existing health and social systems.

The grant has four core aims. First, it supports the development and expansion of community education and awareness efforts related to opioid misuse and opioid use disorder, including prevention, treatment options, and recovery supports. Second, it emphasizes increasing the knowledge and use of culturally appropriate interventions while also encouraging greater use of medication-assisted treatment/medications for opioid use disorder (MAT/MOUD), reflecting the program's interest in combining evidence-based clinical care with community-rooted approaches. Third, it is intended to bolster Tribal and Urban Indian communities as they work to provide prevention, treatment, and recovery services that address the opioid crisis and its broader impacts on families and communities. Fourth, it explicitly includes harm reduction, meaning applicants are encouraged to implement strategies that lower overdose risk and other negative outcomes, even when individuals are not yet ready or able to stop using substances.

Eligibility is limited to specific AI/AN-serving entities as defined in federal statute (25 U.S.C. 1603). Eligible applicants include federally recognized Indian Tribes (as defined at 25 U.S.C. 1603(14)), which covers Tribes, bands, nations, and other organized Native groups or communities, including Alaska Native villages and certain Alaska Native corporations recognized as eligible for federal Indian programs and services. Also eligible are Tribal organizations (25 U.S.C. 1603(26)), which can include the recognized governing body of a Tribe or a legally established Indian organization that is controlled, sanctioned, chartered, or democratically elected by the community it serves, with strong expectations for meaningful Indian participation in all phases of the organization's work. If a Tribal organization applies to serve more than one Tribe, approvals from each Tribe are required, and the funding notice specifies that letters of support and/or Tribal Resolutions must be submitted from the Tribes to be served. Urban Indian Organizations (UIOs) are also eligible (25 U.S.C. 1603(29)); these must be nonprofit corporate bodies located in an urban center, governed by an Urban Indian-controlled board, structured to ensure maximum participation from interested Indian groups and individuals, and capable of legally partnering with public and private entities to carry out authorized activities. UIO applicants must include proof of nonprofit status with the application, such as documentation of 501(c)(3) status.
