The opportunity number is HHS-2027-IHS-HLY-0001, and the listed Assistance Listing is 93.00K, Indian Health Service: Healthy Lifestyles in Youth Project. Grants.gov identifies the opportunity as discretionary and places it within the Health category of funding activity. The forecast was issued on August 18, 2026 and was last updated on August 18, 2026. Because the opportunity is still in forecast status, the dates and other program information provided are estimates rather than final solicitation terms. The available source describes the opportunity as a new cohort of NPHR awards designed to fund Tribes and Tribal Organizations to provide Essential Public Health Services. The opportunity title, Healthy Lifestyles in Youth, establishes a youth focus, while the Grants.gov funding activity category establishes Health as the primary program area. The source does not provide a more detailed program description, list of objectives, allowable or prohibited expenditures, indirect cost limitations, subaward restrictions, performance requirements, or other spending rules. Applicants should therefore rely on the future posted solicitation for detailed program requirements that are not included in this forecast. Estimated total program funding is $1,562,500, with one award expected. The source does not state an award ceiling or award floor, so no minimum or maximum individual award amount can be verified from the forecast. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement.
