About This Grant

The National Indian Health Board (NIHB) is accepting applications for Tribes and Tribal organizations interested in engaging in climate adaptation work.

Activities may include organizing simulation exercises or preparedness drills focused on climate-related emergencies such as extreme heat, flooding, or wildfires. 
  • 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. 

NIHB will fund up to three (3) Tribal governments, Tribal health departments, and/or Tribal health care facilities/health systems 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, December 19, 2025. The project period will run from approximately January 1, 2026 – July 10, 2026.  

NIHB will host an optional pre-application webinar on Thursday, December 4, 2025 at 4:00 pm ET to answer questions about the grant and the application process. You may also contact environmentalhealth@nihb.org with questions.
