The National Indian Health Board (NIHB) is accepting applications from Tribes and Tribal organizations interested in engaging in climate adaptation work. Applicants must have capacity and leadership roles in emergency preparedness, health surveillance, and public health outreach, and seek to build or strengthen their role in climate and health resilience.
The intended outcomes are:
- Develop and implement climate-informed health and environmental strategies, such as creating a climate and health action plan or establishing programs and policies that integrate climate change considerations into Tribal health and environmental services.
- Increase Tribal health, environmental health, and emergency preparedness staff's ability to use climate and health monitoring tools, including CDC’s Heat & Health Tracker, the NWS/CDC HeatRisk tool, and air quality monitors.
NIHB will fund up to four (4) Tribes, Tribal health departments, and/or Tribal health care facilities in amounts up to $20,000 each. Sub awardees must use funds to support climate and health adaptation activities.
The completed application is due at 11:59 PM Alaska Time on Friday, November 20, 2026. The project period will run from approximately December 1, 2026 – July 23, 2027.
NIHB will host an optional pre-application webinar on Wednesday, November 4, 2026 at 4:00 pm ET to answer questions about the grant and the application process.
