The opportunity number is HHS-2027-IHS-DVP-0001, and the associated Assistance Listing is 93.653, Indian Health Service Domestic Violence Prevention Programs. The forecast was dated August 6, 2026, and the opportunity is expected to support approximately 30 awards with estimated total program funding of $10,000,000. The source does not state an individual award floor or award ceiling. The purpose of the grant is to support the development and expansion of Domestic Violence Prevention programs serving American Indian and Alaska Native communities. Supported programs are expected to integrate culturally appropriate, trauma-informed prevention approaches and victim services. The program is intended for Tribes, Tribal organizations, and Urban Indian Organizations serving AI/AN communities, although the listed eligible applicant category in the forecast is specifically Native American tribal governments that are federally recognized. The program addresses a range of violence-related issues, including domestic violence, sexual violence, sexual exploitation and human trafficking, Missing and Murdered AI/AN people, and child maltreatment. The program emphasizes cross-sector collaboration with law enforcement, health care, behavioral health, social services, education, shelters, legal services, and advocacy organizations. Funded programs will be expected to provide victim advocacy, implement evidence-based and traditional practices, increase awareness of the health impacts of violence, collect and share data, and develop plans supporting long-term sustainability.
