Sweetgrass Grants – Urban Indian Health Institute Our Sweetgrass grants support public health programs related to chronic disease prevention and management. Our Sweetgrass grants support public health programs related to chronic disease prevention and management.
Part of our Community Grants Program, Sweetgrass grants award up to four grants of $10,000 to urban Native health and human services organizations and to urban Indian organizations with programming focusing on Indigenous approaches to chronic disease.
The Community Grants Program Request for Applications (RFA) encourages the use of American Indian and Alaska Native traditional, cultural, and regional knowledge in developing, implementing, and/or supporting chronic disease education, prevention, management, and survivorship initiatives among urban Indian communities.
For the purposes of this grant, we define chronic disease as illnesses that last longer than one year and require ongoing medical attention, limit daily activities, or both. 1 Chronic diseases such as cancer, chronic lower respiratory diseases, and diabetes are among the top ten leading causes of death in the United States. 2 Many chronic diseases can be avoided by making healthy choices.
Tobacco cessation, healthy eating behaviors, regular physical activity, and preventive screening tests are some of the best ways to help prevent, delay, or manage chronic diseases. 3 In the 2020–2021 cycle, we awarded grants of $10,000 to organizations with programs addressing chronic respiratory disease in urban Indian communities.

Chronic diseases are illnesses that last longer than one year and require ongoing medical attention, limit daily activities, or both. 1 Chronic diseases such as cancer, chronic lower respiratory diseases, and diabetes are among the top ten leading causes of death in the United States. 2 Many chronic diseases can be avoided by making healthy choices.
Tobacco cessation, healthy eating behaviors, regular physical activity, and preventive screening tests are some of the best ways to help prevent, delay, or manage chronic diseases. 3 As a result of the loss of traditional ways of life, American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) people experience higher rates of chronic diseases when compared with other racial or ethnic groups.
AI/ANs have the highest prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes in the United States and are twice as likely as non-Hispanic Whites to have diabetes. 4 The prevalence of obesity, a major risk factor for developing diabetes, cancers, and other chronic diseases, has also increased dramatically in AI/AN populations over the past 30 years.
5 A respiratory disease is a type of disease that affects areas of the respiratory system, such as the lungs and other parts of the respiratory tract. Examples of respiratory diseases include asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, and respiratory cancers. In 2013, the prevalence of COPD among AI/ANs was almost double the prevalence of NHWs.
6 AI/ANs also have higher rates of asthma (9. 4%) when compared to white persons (7. 7%), although the prevalence was highest for persons of multiple races (14.
1%). 7 In addition to COPD and asthma, respiratory diseases also include cancers affecting areas of the lung, larynx, trachea, and bronchus. Specifically, for urban AI/ANs, data from 2010-2014 shows that types of cancer affecting the respiratory system (trachea, bronchus, lungs) were the top cause of cancer related mortality.

The FY2026 Tribal Management Grant Program (HHS-2026-IHS-TMD-0001) funds four distinct project types — feasibility study, planning, evaluation study, and health management structure — with awards from $50,000 to $300,000 and no cost-share requirement. It is the deliberate on-ramp to ISDEAA Title I contracting and Title V compacting, and choosing the wrong project type is the most common way applicants lose it.
