93.284 -- Injury Prevention Program for American Indians and Alaskan Natives Cooperative Agreements
The Indian Health Service (IHS) Injury Prevention Program (IPP) provides funding for Tribes to develop their capacity and infrastructure in injury and violence prevention. The goal is to address the disparity in injury rates among American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) people. This notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) has two separate, competitive parts. You can only apply for one of the two parts and you must state which part you are applying for in your project summary.The two parts are:Part I: Funding to hire a full-time injury prevention coordinator to implement an injury prevention program within their community or service area.Part I recipients must have a 2,500 minimum IHS user population.This requirement allows the IPP to reach a large number of AI/AN people with the limited amount of available funding.Additionally, the population minimum is important to determine reliable outcomes. An adequate sample size is necessary to detect statistically significant differences related to relatively infrequent events in a small community, such as motor vehicle crashes with an injury or death.Part II: Funding to develop injury prevention projects or innovative strategies.
