Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2022 IHS ZSI 0001
The Zero Suicide Initiative is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Indian Health Service (IHS). Its central goal is to strengthen and modernize how suicide prevention and suicide care are delivered across Indian health systems by putting in place a comprehensive, culturally informed, multi-setting approach. In practical terms, the program is designed to help tribal and tribal-serving health organizations build stronger, more consistent systems that identify suicide risk early, respond quickly and effectively, and maintain supportive follow-up over time for people who are at risk.
This opportunity continues IHS efforts to bring the Zero Suicide approach to Indian Country and is intended either to launch new Zero Suicide work or to expand on prior efforts already underway. Earlier phases of IHS-supported work emphasized foundational training in the Zero Suicide framework, along with technical assistance and consultation for American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities adopting the model. Through those initial efforts, programs have learned more about what makes implementation in Indian Country both promising and challenging. This new funding is framed as a way to build on those lessons, capitalize on the opportunities, and address barriers by focusing more directly on the core operational pieces of Zero Suicide.
The program is structured around the Seven Elements of the Zero Suicide model as developed by the Suicide Prevention Resource Center (SPRC). The first element, Lead, centers on establishing and maintaining leadership-driven commitment to a safety-oriented culture that aims to dramatically reduce suicide among people receiving care. A key expectation highlighted in the description is the meaningful inclusion of survivors of suicide attempts and suicide loss in leadership and planning roles, so that policies and workflows are grounded in lived experience and community realities. The second element, Train, focuses on building a workforce that is not only clinically competent but also confident and caring, ensuring that staff across settings can recognize risk, respond skillfully, and engage people in a respectful, supportive way. The third element, Identify, emphasizes systematic screening and assessment practices so that suicide risk is detected reliably among people who interact with the health system, rather than depending on ad hoc judgments or disclosure alone.
The fourth element, Engage, aims to ensure that every person identified as at risk has a clear, timely, and adequate pathway to care. This includes collaborative safety planning and efforts to reduce access to lethal means, which are widely recognized as critical components of effective suicide prevention. The fifth element, Treat, calls for the use of evidence-based treatments that directly address suicidal thoughts and behaviors, reinforcing that suicide risk should be treated with targeted interventions rather than handled only as a secondary concern within broader behavioral health care. The sixth element, Transition, highlights the importance of continuous contact and support, particularly during high-risk periods such as after emergency care, inpatient discharge, or other acute episodes, when people can be especially vulnerable. The seventh element, Improve, requires a data-driven quality improvement approach, meaning programs are expected to use measurement and ongoing review to refine workflows, strengthen care delivery, and ultimately improve patient outcomes for those at risk.
From a funding and eligibility standpoint, this opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2022 IHS ZSI 0001; CFDA 93.654) offers awards with a ceiling of $300,000 and anticipated funding for about eight awards. Eligible applicants include federally recognized Native American tribal governments, other Native American tribal organizations, and additional applicants as specified in the full eligibility guidance. The announcement was created on November 4, 2021, with an original application closing date of February 2, 2022. Overall, the grant is aimed at supporting tribes and tribal-serving partners in embedding Zero Suicide as an organization-wide, culturally grounded system of care rather than a standalone program, with the expectation that improvements will be sustained through leadership commitment, trained staff, standardized practices, and continuous quality improvement.Apply for HHS 2022 IHS ZSI 0001
