NEW FUNDING ANNOUNCEMENT
Phase 2 Produce Prescription Pilot Program
The IHS Division of Diabetes Treatment and Prevention is pleased to announce the launch of Phase 2 funding for the Produce Prescription Pilot Program. This funding opportunity is designed to expand and enhance food security initiatives in Native communities by supporting partnerships between health care providers and food systems. The program focuses on increasing access to nutritious and traditional foods, improving nutrition, encouraging healthier eating habits, and supporting overall well-being. Application materials can be found on Grants.gov, and proposals must be submitted by June 22, 2026.
Good nutrition is vital to healthy growth, development, and wellness throughout the lifespan. Healthy eating reduces the risk of chronic diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and some cancers. Healthy eating means consuming nutrient-dense foods and beverages across all food groups, including traditional foods.
