Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2022 IHS HLY 0001
The Healthy Lifestyles in Youth opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2022 IHS HLY 0001) is a discretionary Indian Health Service (IHS) cooperative agreement under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It is designed to advance the IHS mission of improving the health of American Indian and Alaska Native youth by funding practical, community-based health promotion and health education efforts. The program focuses specifically on children ages 7 through 11, with an emphasis on building healthy lifestyle habits early, especially around better nutrition and increased physical activity.
At its core, the award is meant to support a lead organization that can work directly with selected Native American Boys and Girls Club sites through a structured grant application process. The funded partner is expected to collaborate with these club sites, strengthen their capacity to deliver consistent health and physical education programming, and create opportunities for youth to participate in fitness activities that support long-term healthy habits. Beyond general wellness messaging, the program places importance on helping youth develop a broad set of physical skills while also reinforcing teamwork, cooperation, and positive social development, since these factors often influence whether children stick with healthy routines over time.
A major rationale behind the program is early intervention to reduce or prevent the rising rates of obesity and diabetes among youth and young adults in AI/AN communities. The opportunity highlights that evidence-based strategies implemented during childhood can help slow or stop unhealthy trends before they become chronic health problems later in life. In particular, the announcement points to the value of structured curricula and consistent programming that make nutrition and movement relevant, relatable, and culturally grounded for the children participating.
One highlighted approach is integrating the Together Raising Awareness for Indian Life (TRAIL) curriculum into club-based health promotion programs. TRAIL is described as a three-month program made up of 12 lessons that aim to give youth a solid, age-appropriate understanding of healthy lifestyles to help prevent diabetes. The curriculum includes instruction on good nutrition, healthy food choices, and the role of physical activity, while also addressing real-world influences like media messaging. It is intentionally woven together with self-esteem and prevention activities, and it encourages youth to connect lessons to Tribal traditions and history, reinforcing cultural strengths while discussing the impacts of diabetes and the importance of prevention.
The opportunity also stresses that TRAIL is not only classroom-style learning. Teamwork and community service are built into the design, with youth participating in hands-on projects that improve wellness in their communities. Examples given include starting community gardens to help children understand where food comes from and organizing community-wide physical fitness events that engage families and community members. These service components are positioned as a way to make healthy living visible and community-supported rather than something children do in isolation.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the program is offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the IHS expects to have substantial involvement during the project period, such as providing guidance, coordination, or technical support rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The listing indicates an award ceiling of $1,250,000 and anticipates one award. The CFDA/assistance listing number associated with this opportunity is 93.933. The posting lists eligibility generally as "Others" with clarification expected in the full eligibility section of the notice. The opportunity was created on August 9, 2022, with an original application closing date of September 15, 2022.Apply for HHS 2022 IHS HLY 0001
