Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2026 IHS PPPP 0001
The Phase 2 Produce Prescription Pilot Program is a discretionary funding opportunity from the Indian Health Service (IHS) designed to help Native-serving entities put produce prescription models into practice. The core idea is to improve access to nutritious, culturally and community relevant foods while also supporting whole-person health and overall well-being. In practical terms, this kind of program typically centers on connecting healthcare and community food systems so that participants can receive fruits and vegetables in a structured way (often through vouchers, credits, or prescribed access linked to health goals), with the intent of improving diet quality and related health outcomes.
This opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the funder expects an active role in the project beyond simply issuing funds. The activity category is health, and it is listed under CFDA (Assistance Listing) 93.933. The funding opportunity number is HHS-2026-IHS-PPPP-0001, and the application closing date is June 22, 2026. The program expects to make about 18 awards, with an award ceiling of $250,000 per award.
Eligible applicants include federally recognized Indian Tribes, Tribal organizations, and Urban Indian organizations that meet the definitions in federal statute. Federally recognized Tribes are those recognized as eligible for special programs and services provided by the United States to Indians because of their status as Indians, as reflected in the definition at 25 U.S.C. 1603(14) (including Alaska Native villages or groups and certain Alaska Native corporations established under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act). Tribal organizations are defined at 25 U.S.C. 1603(26) and generally include a Tribe’s recognized governing body or a legally established Indian organization that is controlled, sanctioned, or chartered by that governing body, or democratically elected by the adult members of the Indian community served, with maximum Indian participation in all phases of its activities. A key requirement for Tribal organizations applying is that they must submit letters of support or Tribal Resolutions from the Tribe or Tribes they will serve, and if the project benefits more than one Tribe, approval from each Tribe is required.
Urban Indian organizations may also apply if they meet the statutory definition at 25 U.S.C. 1603(29) and are currently administering a contract or receiving an award under 25 U.S.C. 1653. These entities are described as nonprofit corporate bodies located in urban centers, governed by an urban Indian-controlled board of directors, structured to maximize participation from interested Indian groups and individuals, and capable of legally cooperating with public and private partners to carry out relevant activities. Urban Indian organizations must provide proof of nonprofit status as part of eligibility.
Overall, this grant is aimed at supporting the implementation of produce prescription approaches in Native communities and Native-serving urban settings, with an emphasis on improving nutrition access in ways that fit local culture and community needs, and on advancing health outcomes through integrated, whole-person strategies.Apply for HHS 2026 IHS PPPP 0001
