Grant Description

The primary purpose of this Cooperative Agreement is to provide funding to selected SDPI grantees to continue or newly implement one of the two programs and to document activities and outcomes. One program is called the Diabetes Prevention Program with primary prevention of diabetes as its goal. The other program, the Healthy Heart Project, is aimed at cardiovascular disease risk reduction in AI/ANs with diabetes. Another purpose of this Cooperative Agreement is to disseminate information and best practices from the original SDPI Demonstration Projects into other AI/AN IHS, Tribal and urban Indian health settings. Both the Diabetes Prevention Program and the Healthy Heart Project award recipients are expected to participate in dissemination activities under this Cooperative Agreement.
