Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2017 IHS PARD 0001
Preventing Alcohol-Related Deaths through Social Detoxification is an Indian Health Service (IHS) cooperative agreement aimed at reducing alcohol-related deaths by expanding access to community-based social detoxification services. The grant focuses on practical, front-end interventions that can quickly stabilize people experiencing acute intoxication or early withdrawal, provide evaluation and supportive care, and help individuals become ready to enter longer-term treatment for alcohol use disorder and, when appropriate, other substance use disorders. In plain terms, the program is meant to strengthen the community "bridge" between crisis-level alcohol misuse and ongoing treatment by offering safe, structured detox supports and actively moving patients toward next-step care rather than leaving them to cycle through emergency rooms, jails, or unsafe environments.
A key requirement is that applicants must already have a fully operational and properly staffed social detoxification program in place. The program must deliver all three critical components of the detoxification process: evaluation, stabilization, and fostering patient readiness for and entry into treatment. This is not a planning or start-up opportunity; it is designed to fund programs that can demonstrate they are already running and capable of delivering comprehensive detoxification services. Another central condition is that the program must primarily serve American Indians, aligning with IHS's mission and the funding’s intent.
Geographically, IHS intended to direct this funding toward two high-need regions: the Navajo Area and the Great Plains Area. The opportunity is rooted in urgent, well-documented public health needs. Congress specifically called attention to Gallup, New Mexico, where Tribal members have faced an ongoing crisis of alcohol-related deaths and where there is a continued shortage of substance abuse treatment capacity, including residential and detoxification services. Senate Appropriations Committee Report 114-281 explicitly conveyed the expectation that IHS would use appropriated funds to continue supporting efforts that address this crisis in Gallup. The grant also responds to emerging risks in the Great Plains region, particularly following the removal of liquor licenses in White Clay, Nebraska. IHS noted that changes in alcohol availability and purchasing patterns could increase harm and mortality if detoxification and follow-on treatment services are not readily accessible, making expanded detox capacity and treatment linkage a pressing need.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through IHS. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project period (for example, collaboration on implementation, monitoring, and performance expectations) compared with a standard grant. The activity category is health, and the CFDA number listed is 93.933. Eligible applicants include state governments, federally recognized Tribal governments, Tribal organizations (including those other than federally recognized Tribal governments), and other entities as described in the opportunity’s additional eligibility guidance.
The opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2017 IHS PARD 0001) was created on August 15, 2017, with an original application closing date of September 16, 2017. IHS anticipated making two awards, with an award ceiling of up to $1,500,000 per award. Overall, the grant is best understood as targeted support for existing social detox programs serving Indian communities in specific high-impact areas, with the goal of preventing avoidable deaths by ensuring people can access evaluation, stabilization, and a strong transition into treatment at the moment they are most at risk.Apply for HHS 2017 IHS PARD 0001
