- What it does
- The Indian Health Service (IHS) announces a new initiative under the Special Diabetes Program for Indians (SDPI). This funding mechanism is a competitive cooperative agreement program that will provide funding to selected SDPI grantees for a demonstration project to implement and evaluate defined activities in one of two areas (primary prevention of diabetes or prevention of cardiovascular disease in people with diabetes).
- Who benefits
- American Indians and Alaska Natives will be the ultimate beneficiaries of the funded demonstration projects through either prevention or direct treatment services.
- Who applies
- Applicants eligible to receive an award under this announcement are SDPI grant recipients. The applicant must be one of the following entities: IHS hospital or clinic, federally recognized Tribes, Title V Urban Indian Health Programs or consortia of any of the above. A SDPI grant recipient can apply only once as a single entity or as part of consortium. An application submitted by consortium of SDPI grant recipients must be submitted by one of the SDPI grant recipients sanctioned as the principal applicant. A letter of support must be included in the application from each SDPI grantee the principle applicant is representing. The letter must specifically state that the principal applicant is officially representing that SDPI grantee in this application. Applicants for consortium who do not submit these letters of support at the time of the application receipt date will not be reviewed and are ineligible for the award. Smaller applicants are encouraged to apply as part of consortium, especially their diabetes registry is less than 250. Applicants are strongly encouraged to establish eligibility of their proposed applications prior to submission. Inquiries about eligibility should be addressed to Gordon Quam, SDPI Demonstration Projects Grant Project Officer, IHS Division of Diabetes Treatment and Prevention at 505-248-4182; email to diabetesprogram@ihs.gov. Applicants that are not SDPI grant recipients are not eligible. Non-profit tribal organizations or national/area health boards are not eligible, consistent with recent tribal consultation on this issue. Applications that do not meet these eligibility requirements will be returned to the applicant without further review.

How to read these numbers
- Committed through this program
Money committed under this assistance listing (its CFDA program), counted in the year each action happened.
- How it's paid
Most programs pay out one way — a grant, or a direct payment to individuals; the flow bar only appears when a program genuinely mixes types.
- Some recipients aren't itemized
For entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare, the government reports one aggregate instead of naming tens of millions of people, so the recipient roster isn't part of the public record.
- Awards, counted once
An award count is the number of distinct awards with at least one action that year — each counted once, however many times it was amended.
- The colored bars
Every bar on this page splits by how the money moves:
