Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2022 IHS SPIP 0001
The Substance Abuse and Suicide Prevention Program: Suicide Prevention, Intervention, and Postvention is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Indian Health Service (IHS), focused specifically on reducing suicide among American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) people. The program is built around strengthening and expanding tribal, community-driven approaches that prevent suicide before it happens, improve responses during a crisis, and support healing and recovery after a suicide attempt or death. It is intended to help ensure AI/AN communities can access comprehensive, culturally appropriate behavioral health services that reflect local values, traditions, and community priorities.
The core purpose of the grant is to lower the prevalence of suicide in AI/AN populations by supporting three main strategies. First, applicants are expected to improve care coordination, meaning they should strengthen how individuals move between services and systems (for example, linking community programs, schools, clinics, crisis response, and follow-up care so people do not fall through gaps). Second, the program emphasizes expanding behavioral health services using culturally appropriate evidence-based and practice-based models. In practical terms, this means tribes and tribal organizations can build or broaden programs that are supported by evidence while still being grounded in community knowledge and culturally rooted practices, rather than relying only on generic models that may not fit local needs. Third, the funding encourages applicants to develop or expand activities connected to the Generation Indigenous (Gen-I) Initiative, with an emphasis on early intervention for AI/AN youth who may be at risk for suicidal behavior. Youth-focused work is meant to complement, not replace, efforts that also address adult populations, since suicide prevention is framed as a whole-community responsibility across age groups.
This opportunity aligns with the IHS 2019-2023 Strategic Plan, Goal 1, which centers on ensuring AI/AN people have access to comprehensive, culturally appropriate personal and public health services. Within that larger strategy, the SASP program is positioned as a way to promote quality suicide prevention programming and improve access to services for both youth and adults. IHS is signaling that effective suicide prevention in AI/AN communities should be culturally appropriate and community-led, with solutions shaped locally rather than imposed from outside.
A major theme in the grant description is collaboration across systems and community roles. Applicants are encouraged to submit plans that demonstrate cross-system coordination (such as partnerships between tribal health programs, behavioral health providers, schools, law enforcement, child welfare, social services, and community or faith/traditional leaders where relevant). The opportunity also stresses meaningful inclusion of families, youth, and broader community resources, recognizing that prevention and healing often depend on trusted relationships and community support networks, not only clinical care. The emphasis on prevention, intervention, and postvention indicates that strong applications should address the full continuum: upstream prevention and early identification, immediate crisis response and safety planning, and postvention supports that reduce trauma, strengthen resilience, and help prevent suicide contagion and additional risk after a community loss.
